FRS Engine Roar?
 

Does the FRS have a distinguishable engine sound that makes ones stomach uneasy if the car passes by you on the highway? Is the FRS Engine roar distinguishable between several cars on the road? Or is it just like any ordinary car, similar to a Toyota Camry passing by?

It sounds like you've been passed by a sewing machine.

uel header will give you a nice distinguishable roar

It sounds like a normal car. That's what aftermarket exhaust is for.

The above!
Unless you go in high rpm's, 4500 and higher will definitely turn heads, but other then that: aftermarket exhaust ;)

I've had many people tell me they hear a lion as I drive by

Jiminy Crickets!
Just this past Thursday as I was walking to bank, I heard it before I turned the corner. Chirp chirp chirp, hmm, sounds like... turn the corner and bam, a blue BRZ brand new with paper plates, idling in front of the store.

It's a frikin H4...not a W16 or even a V8.

WTF.

Must be the crickets kicking in.

......ugh what kind of question is this? It's H4, lol... if it's stock yes its going to be quite unless your WOT (and even then it's not that loud), this isn't a Mustang or something

Mild Level
Do a cat-back exhaust, and maybe a mid pipe change. Aggressive enough but not to the point where your ear are hurting on your daily commute

Agressive Level
For those of us that want everyone to know you've entered the housing complex. Go with UEL and do a complete exhaust overhaul. Can drone if done improperly, but can be be tamed if done correctly. This will turn heads and you will be heard a good distance. Iconic Boxer Rumble is heard in this range

The Neighboors Hate You Level
If you want every cop within a mile or 4-5 city blocks to know your in the area... go UEL and do a straight pipe from headers to exhaust or go complete Open Downpipe. 9/10 the car is breaching any noise dB laws (and that includes most racetracks). Going into any parking garage or tunnel is saying good bye to your ear drums. Be prepared to be fucked with by cops, have the entire venue your arrive at stare at you and have notes on your car window about how its obnoxiously loud it is.

Oh..... unless your car is a lamborghini.... a car this loud car = insta girl turn off

The No Fucks Given Level
If thats still not enough for you... you simply need a new damn car with a V8

This car aint no Maserati.

Im pretty sure in terms of pure dB loudness... Anthony's FRS is GOOOD bit louder than that Maserati lol

Difference is are cars don't sound pretty when their at this noise level.... Maserati's sounds well, like sex where as are's sound like a P51 Mustang doing diving runs lol

Loudest fr-s I've heard.

He's local and you can hear this thing from 2/3 blocks away.

When I overtake cars, it goes like this:

So, Hyundai excel driver, you want to race eh? You know what I let you drive ahead first.
So the Excel went ahead of me.

Moved to next lane, my car is on the lane next to the Hyundai, front bumper approximately next to the Hyundai's rear bumper... then floored pedal.

Then engine went Brrraappppp....

After 3 seconds flooring, my car finally slowly moving closer and closer and now my driver side window is approaching his side window - in a second or 2 we would see eye to eye...

Now my car finally finally parallel to his... My plan was to look at him, make some eye contact and winked before I smoked his sorry ass Hyundai and disappeared into sunset.

Eye contact made. He looked at me I looked at him.

Gave him a quick wink and pointed my finger ahead and planned to take off in a cool way.

2 seconds passed, 4 seconds passed, I was only slowly going ahead of him, but I could still see him from my window. And we're still making eye contact. Now this was getting awkward....

I tried pushing "sports mode" hoping that I could end this awkward eye contact asap...

Car went more "brrrapppp-y" and I was moving a bit faster now. I think.

Meanwhile I could see on the other lane a grandma with her grandson in a camry zipped past us wondering what the hell we were doing....

Luckily my turn approached so I had an excuse to go the other way. Still making eye contact of course - indicating that he was lucky that I had to turn.

Literally burst out in laughter... :bellyroll:

And that maserati isn't a maserati... Its a ferrari motor... Sooo yeah, thanx for playing

I find the engine tone to be kinda sweet sounding. It can have many different qualities of textures and tones depending on the circumstances.

The car sounds different from other subaru boxers and 4 cylinder engines. It's not really better sounding than most other cars, but again given the right circumstances can be enjoyable, and decently loud with stock. Not for revving in parking lots, but when you're moving the car gets a nice bassy tone.

This. every. single. time.

:lol:

[QUOTE=ZOMFGAARON;1903269]Loudest fr-s I've heard.

That thing sounds like shit, long as he's happy though.

97% of the cars out there have inline 4s or V6 or V8 engines, so you know what they'll sound like. The twins sound like a 1963 VW bug, at least until you hit 5000+ rpm. It ain't so much about loud as it is about exhaust note.

It sounds like someone taped a kazoo to a weedwacker.

A stock twin sounds kind of cool if you're flooring it in a tunnel but other that it sounds like any other normal car.

Mine would sound like this, but it's not stock :burnrubber:

Stock does sound a bit week. TRD intake and exhaust sounds completely different. Nice throaty rumble at idle and low RPM. Banshee scream at high! Does make some of the stop light revers back off a bit when they hear it even though the car is no faster then any stock one.

Did OP leave?
