Well, it certainly sounds quite loud and raw up around 6-7.5K, and I could see how some would call it unrefined, but I wouldn't say the car is vibrating in a really noticeable way, and doesn't seem as bad as some people seem to be making it here. Are you feeling that through the steering wheel, pedals, shifter, etc? Tomorrow if the rain is gone I'll go for a drive in the morning and specifically pay attention for it so I can compare.

I'm confused about the vibration issue. To me the car seems very smooth even at 7K - is it possible that there is a difference between cars? Or have I just been driving older vehicles for too long? Is it possible I just don't have enough miles (around 2000 miles) on the vehicle? I'm not detecting any significant vibration yet I can feel every nook and cranny on the road...

Mine's been smoothing out more as it gets miles on it...Plus my intake/exhaust is fully adapted now. 2100 miles and it keeps getting better. I found it very annoying when the car was newer..

There is an inherent Harshness factor with this motor, but it does seem to vary a bit between cars...

Is it getting better or could it be that you getting used to it?
