The Subaru WRX is known for its powerful engine, transmission, and performance. It also has excellent handing and comes with standard all-wheel drive. However, the Subaru WRX is a loud car to drive. Research into the issue revealed that the noise in a Subaru WRX is from the release of the high-pressure combustion gasses entering the exhaust system.
