WRX SL - No Burble
Hi Guys,
New to the forums - Looking at buying my first Subaru at the moment. Went out and test drove an 07 plate Impreza WRX SL (bug eye).
Very nice car - everything was clean and tidy.
The only thing was there was no burble from the exhaust - was as quiet as a normal car.
Is this due to the car being an SL?
Cheers in advance.
Jon.

No.
As standard the cars are quiet as a mouse. But stick an aftermarket exhaust on there and it'll release the burble.
SL is no different to any WRX except it has full leathers and sunroof.

I may be mistaken but I think you also get extra sound deadening in the Sl as per the Spec D. Doesn't help the cause when in the car, but as said a decent after market exhaust will get the sound you are after irrespective.

Thanks for all the info guys - got me a little worries with the import comments for a moment.
Going back for another test drive this morning Anything I should be looking out for over and above the usual? Only done 10k so am imagining everything to be fine.
