Hmmm hadn't thought of this before, I guess that's usually one of the problems with 4 cylinder engines...6 cylinder engines are noticably smoother.

It's been a while since I've been in a Subaru, but I remember that a 2002 WRX sounded very smooth at 7000rpm. Or maybe I was just really terrified of how fast the car was going From the videos I don't think this car sounds too harsh at high rpm, but I question the noise pipe philosophy as it seems to make the car very loud...I think a lot of people will toss that thing out.
