Evo X MR Touring Question!

Hey all,

My dad is going to purchase an Evo X MR Touring (since we can get it at the price of an MR). No huge spoiler, heated leather seats, sunroof. Thats what he wants.

Anyway, from what I hear the MR Touring's engine noise is softer. While my dad likes the subtle look of the Touring, he still wants that "WOW!! factor" in terms of noise.

I don't know too much about cars and next to nothing about Evo X's, but I'm learning. Is there any way to get the MR Touring's engine sound to that of an MR's or better? I mean, I'm sure there is, but I'd like to know where to get started!

Many thanks for the help guys.

It sounds the same, though the MR Touring supposedly has better sound deadening to help with the comfort level. Perhaps that's what you mean.

That's it, sound deadening

I'm going to take a guess and say that thats the sound you hear from the inside, then?

Sound deadening describes the efforts that a car company takes to isolate the exterior sound from the inside. Usually it involves extra materials inserted inside doors or panels to absorb sound. While car enthusiasts like to hear their cars, not everyone wants the engine blaring in their ears all day long. The MR Touring caters toward these individuals who want the performance of an Evo but with a little bit more comfort on a day-to-day basis.

It's gonna make the same sound from the outside as the GSR. But if you want it louder that's a piece of cake. Just get an exhaust.
