Edit - watched again (well, for the 4th time) - exhaust sound is definitely from inside. Sounds great I think.
Compare the sound with a Honda S2000 or some other naughty 4 Cylinder. The 86 does not sound boring but it sounds very mature.

But this is okay in my opinion because the 86 is no track car, it's a every day car for the public road and a too loud exhaust might be a no go for some buyers.
