• Once rode in a mates stage prepared evo (8 I think, first of the newer shape), ear defenders that wouldn't look out of place in a saw mill were NOT enough. Anything over 60 mph the transmission alone was loud enough but exhaust was ridiculous, more just from the relentless drone. Put me right off doing a 'stage' or 'full track car' for the road project, just unbearable.

  • Mine was worse when it had solid engine mounts and rose jointed droplinks, the amount of NVH was just too much.

    @cake can confirm the vibration at idle

    Race car on the road is fine, if it's purely just for driving to the races, I've definitely got less "hardcore" as I've got older.
