Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

stupid question... but it bugs me!!

What year is his?


Could be DOHC vs SOHC?
Single port vs dual port?

Maybe his has a different induction system increasing his engine's volumetric efficiency thus sending more gases down the exhaust at the same RPM?

Or maybe its not louder it's just more rumbly? In this case maybe he's got unequal length exhaust headers fitted? Good explenation here:

If it's none of these differences between the two then it could just be the car colour? Is yours white and his black?
