As I said though, as I usually am, I could be totally wrong here.
No, it does use the direct injectors a little bit at idle and low speeds. Mid-range is direct injection only and high-end is both again. High pressure fuel injectors are noisy. The Evo X has port injectors but they still make a lot of noise.
