My WRX didn't sound awful and the SRT4 sounded ok, too. It all depends on what you're working with.
If that was Sam's car I would believe it is all business. I haven't seen it, but it seems like it will do the job. I pulled in right when he was leaving.
I don't know what luck you will have today. Might try Mad Hatter or try calling O'Rielleys in Westerville and see if they know anyone who can help out. Sunday is usually a day off in the Repair Industry.
