Maybe EV—but I do like a good sound. I really like uneven beat of the 4 and even with the standard exhaust (not PSE) I think it sounds great at all revs (I grew up with V8s). It might lack a little above 4000-5000 rpm at high throttle but so little of my time is spent there I wouldn't trade it for what I've got. And I definitely wouldn't trade away the low end torque. I even had the exhaust on my Moto Guzzi tuned for torque even though it was quieter than the maximum power tune.
