What Does a stock Evo Sound Like?
I'm trying to compare my Evo's sound to some other machine. The stock exhaust is not loud at all, but the turbo whistles and engine has a very distinct high-pitched .... roar? under wide-open throttle.
The closest comparison I can think of is an air-cooled Porsche engine or a Subaru boxer engine. Anyone else have a better comparison? It doesn't have the loud ricer exhaust blaaaaat I expected at all.

I think it sounds nothing like a Subaru, but it does have a slightly different sound then my 2G does. But I don't have an exhaust yet or hard pipes or a BOV on my Evo.

Subarus have such a distinct sound mainly because of their non-equal length exhaust manifold design. If you had equal length headers on it, the sound would be way different.
