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.

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.

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.

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

ZOMFGAARON 08-16-2014 09:23 PM

Loudest fr-s I've heard.

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