Default quieter car with simtek

i've noticed sinced my car has been mapped it's not as noisy as it use to be. obviously with the anti lag it is
also on a cold start it sticks to 1k rpm, before it use to go a bit higher when the cars cold too
is it just the way its been mapped??? funny its quieter though considering i've got a blitz nur spec

Don't forget to fuel it on household rubbish via a Moulinex blender spout...

Since remap I've noticed mine sounds different when coming off the throttle, almost like less of the 'dugga dugga' impreza sound and more like the engine turning over just from the drivetrain (if that makes sense) I put it down to fuel being taken out off throttle?

imho adding fuel will increase the density of the exhaust gases. BUT will this quieten it down and make it more uneconomical ? I'm not sure !

Might do the opposite....

P.S. wiley's taste in music/beer might have a greater effect !
