Talking of engine sound..... IMHO the 4-cyl Subaru's have a much nicer boxer
sound on the engine than the wbx, it reminds me of the 5-cyl Audi. Especially
when you hear the old 1800 Leone. What can be done to get the high-pitched
turbine whine of the wbx to sound more like the boxer it really is? I mean, the
wbx doesn't really sound like a boxer! Any other got the same feeling, that the
engines sound way different? And what could be causing this, is it the exhaust,
the crankshaft, the water-cooling system of the Subbie?

This has always disappointed me.
