Default Tanabe IS350 vs. IS250 Sound

Is there a difference in sound between the two engines? One would think so because of the difference in hp. Has anyone compared? If so, please share your findings. Thanks.

I don't think that the difference in hp will make a difference. Rather, it would be the difference in displacement.

I seriously doubt it sounds like a civic. Civics are 4 cylinders, IS's are 6. Right there makes a BIG change in exhaust sound.
