The combination of no muffler from the factory and a turbo whine was pure music to the ears. The burble noise the car made on deceleration was sinful. If you have ever heard one of these you know what I mean. I have the TRD exhaust on my FRS and even with this the sound is not nearly as exciting as the Abarth. The FRS sounds flat and does not have a deep growl. More exhaust tuning please Toyota and Subaru !!!!!!!!
With the litigious environment we live in and overlording government agencies demanding more and more technocrap on cars those days are over.

Quit trying to out think the engineers and just drive the car.
