Do street ported motors sound different??
yes they sound different. its really more dependant on the size of the EXHAUST porting, since thats where the air leaves the engine and out the muffler. but yeah, generally, ported rotaries sound more "blatty"

Like they said, the exhaust port has a much bigger impact on the exhaust sound. Most of the time, the exhaust port is ported along with the intakes according to the size of the intake porting so people associate the louder sound with the bigger port.

If you want to know, pull the inake and exhaust manifolds and check the ports for evidence of work.
Otherwise it's just guessing. A "street" port won't effect sound that greatly and should not effect vacuum readings.
More radical porting will make a large difference in both.

See we thought it was bad TPS/ leak/ other sensors, and we replaced all sensors and a ton of other stuff. the motor came from Japan with a Pan sport ECU. It makes 242 hp at 11 psi on stock S5 turbo. I just figured it had a massive port.
Did you have that dynoed personally... sounds a bit made up..
Just because u replaced the sensors if u did not put them in spec (adjust them properly) they will act up.
Maybe a bad ECU

I have a street ported motor. The exhaust was ported earlier and the over lap wasn't changed too much. It still sounds about the same as it did before porting. With the exhaust port, it's just a little louder, but not too much.
