If you live somewhere w/o emissions testing can gut catalytic
converter. Yields a lower & mellower tone (and greatly reduced
backpressure). Hollow shell seems to act like a resonating chamber.

Make sure idle speed isn't too high. PRV rather buzzy at speed.

"Accessory" key position same as car energized (as if were driving).
Some items like fuel pump need additional signal from actual rotating
engine, but idle speed motor not one of them. In factory configuration
motor runs whenever car energized and throttle closed microswitch
activated.

Starting/cranking key position sends other signals, such as cold start
valve.
