This thread just sucks.
My car's quiet at idle and well, mild at cruise... half throttle and the exhaust roars and the intake is ridiculous. There's a MKIII owner who lives about 5 miles away with a mildly modded 1JZ and the thing is whisper quiet at all but WOT (and then it's still pretty quiet)... I LOVE it. Stealth and when you floor it you're surprised as hell when he's still right next to you like a ghost.
I live near a high school... loud and pathetic is what I see all day.
