This may sound like a weird question, but does the Subaru boxer have close to the same SOUND as the wasserboxer? I have a Boston Bob engine in my '90 that runs like a dream, and having installed it (and all new hoses) myself it is a reliable as a sledgehammer--- but still I find myself wishing for more "go". I've thought about it, and the only thing I know I can't do without is that VW boxer noise: "pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!"

Does the Subaru engine have that?
