WIKIPEDIA SAYS:
A sleeper is a car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior. Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car (or in some cases worse due to seeming neglect on the owners part), but internally they are modified (or are built) to perform at higher levels. Some cars are equipped this way at the factory to suit the tastes of those who want performance without drama, whether understatedness suits their chosen image or lifestyle, or because they do not wish to attract undue attention of the police or car thieves. For instance, many high-performance sedans look hardly any different from the lower-powered models in the range; for example: the Acura TL Type-S, Audi RS4, BMW M3 and M5, Buick Regal GNX, Cadillac CTS-V, 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, Chrysler 300C SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, FORD TAURUS SHO, 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder,Volkswagen Passat W8, and Volvo S60R, among others. Cars with obvious external badging, or overt visual elements that give the impression of high performance, are not true sleeper cars.


.....just saying
its a stock K20, if the exhaust was decently sized it would be so quiet at idle you wouldnt even be able to hear it running
