rasp is where it sounds sort of choppy at rpm, this only happens for me in my neighborhood... usually by the time i get out on to the main road, the rasp is gone. imo, the sound at idle is deep, agressive, very bada$$. the roar at startup definitely gets some attention, especially in a garage, like when i started it up in the discount tire garage, everyone kinda went- "what the hell was that?" From outside the car at speed, it has hints of rice, but not NEARLY that loud, annoying, or bee-fartish. My opinion, TAKE IT OUT!!! If you have the money, i've heard that throwing on a hi-flow resonator or muffler or something helps, but I was trying to stay cheap, Midas straight-piped it for me and I think it sounds GREAT!
