how to 'silence' the coupe
#46
I think the stock Evos are pretty quiet. For the power and speed they provide I would say that's the car for you. I can't get enough of my exhaust, I'm usually cruising in a very slow traffic, so I don't get to enjoy WOT sound too often. Closing the windows and not accelerating keeps that beautiful sound to a minimum, and there is not much else you can do.

Just Dynamat the hell out of it. I did it with my previous car (Mitsu Mirage coupe) and I loved the quietness it gave the interior. When I wanted to hear the exhaust note louder, I'd just roll the windows down. It also gave the doors a solid feel. I still miss the "thump" those doors made, as opposed to the rattles the G's make....

My '04 Coupe is rated at 270 TQ, which I'm pretty sure is a bit more than the Sedans of the '03 and '04 model years.
As for '05+, all auto tranny G's have 280 HP and 270 TQ, and all MT G's have 298 HP and 260 TQ.
Either way... a difference of 10 TQ is not going to make you push bakc in your seat or make the car feel noticeably quicker. If I remember correctly, the 03' and '04 sedans were lighter than the Coupes, which would probably make them feel quicker than the Coupe a lot more than the few ponies and pounds of torque in 'supposed' power output from the engine.
