for those wRX with loud idling note means that they had replaced with an unequal length extractor + (maybe) a cat back muffler.
Stock will never give that note.

Boxer engines not just confined to Subarus.
Some Posh and the older Alfa are on the same design.
Even the stock low growl is sweet.
i missed it.

mmm..

just the extractor does give that sound, but its not pronounced.

works best with up,down,mid 3" pipes.

of course, having a unsilenced fujitsubo doesn't hurt.

in technical point of view
it could be due to a lot of thing
it might be the petrol quality, might be your air filter dirty...
the above might cause your car to go siao siao.

anyone can share

sent to garage, reset idling level : no use.
sent to tcm, they claimed it's normal for such vibration  :mad:
in the end, GIVE UP. cause mine now is only mild vibration, but it gets bad when air con is off though.

I just went back to TCM Ubi just now...requested for them to retune idling rpm to 800. Went on a test drive jus now felt ok no vibration nothing liao... I guess should be ok ba....750rpm and 800 rpm no much diff. On the highway, cruising at 80km/h at 1600 rpm. =)

Anyway i chatted with the technician just now and he told me that the ECU will readjust back one as in even though we increase the idling rpm by 50 or 100. Eventually it will readjust by itself after a few days. He did mention that it is normal for the idling rpm to drop once the aircon compressor is cut off.

idling rpm low is good...esp if u always in a jam or travel often during rush hour ( like me )...downside , the car will 'shiver'.

Turn off the A/C and shift to N. Guaranteed 700rpm and smooth idling. I think that's what the ECU was designed to do.

I sent back to tcm ubi , insisted them tune up to 800 rpm.
The old uncle initially refused, but i KPKB  . They tuned up 50 rpm to 800 rpm in at last.

I solved my ride 'shivering' effect....simple

Volt stab....don't ask me why...when i put back my volt stab today, I didn't get that 'shiver' feeling while out driving.

Open your bonnet when your rpm is at 600, you can see your whole engines is vibrating and any parts linking back to your body which caused this vibration.

So far my car was the air intake compartment that cause the problem, after tcm placed "cushioning", no vibration.

It linked back to your petrol used.  95 and 98 will make the difference.  Good tuning can also solve the vibration even if you use 92 and 95.  Sensitive drivers will feel the different petrol use and you step on your accerator.
