deeslk Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Does anyone here know if they use additional sound deadening material in a GT vs 2.5 models in 07 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Not, sure about that, but GT is definitely quieter under wot than 2.5i. I think the turbo motor is quieter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 +1. The 2.5 is louder. This is the first thing I noticed afer I got my 2.5 X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy16V Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've been told that Turbo engines, as a whole, are quieter than their non-turbo counterparts... Something with the additional plumbing, hoses, tubes, and insulation that surely helps sound proofing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayScoobie Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 My LGT wagon was in the shop yesterday for the 45k maintenance. I was given a WRX wagon NA as a rental for the day. The WRX engine definitely sounded louder and rougher then the GT. ______________________________ Picture Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstillatwork Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 on similar exhaust, with the same engine, the turbo is quieter. NA: engine -> cat -> muffler Turbo: engine -> turbo-> cat-> muffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
