I think it's the other way around.. from my experience..

94-95 models have MUCH less sound deatoning materials in them compared to 96-99's... toyota added a lot of insulation due to complaints of excessive noise in the early cars...

I agree with this one much more. Tires do make a difference, but this is more agreeable

and this is why they invented the car audio system... u will never even hear your own thoughts if you got the right system >wink.gif>

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

Agreed again, sometimes, dead of winter, i'll turn off my air, radio, whatever. Roll down my window, and jsut listen to it. And i do it all the time in the summer
