94-95 models have MUCH less sound deatoning materials in them compared to 96-99's... toyota added a lot of insulation due to complaints of excessive noise in the early cars...

-------------------- the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
