Stock.

Also, what are the standard RPMs at 45 and 70 mph?

Engine noise is louder on startup than my old 2.0 but it smooths out. Added Pep comes with more noise but I love the new power of the 2.5. It'll leave my stock 2.0 in its tracks.

I love the sound it makes when I step on it! You can hear the two cam chains roar!
