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 !!!!!!!!
The reason fiat got away with no muffler in the U.S. and other places is because the turbo is the muffler in that case. That doesn't work for the FRS and a "sport only" model probably wouldn't sell too well mostly because that won't be legal here
