Maybe that's what causes the "drone" on cold starts..... I know my forester used to do this all the time also.

Yes they do, the idle control valve is open. I love the sound of my car when it's just started when it's cold :)

To the point where I am wanting to ask my tuner about a retune of the car with the idle valve open at all times to give it that hollow note :D

Bye bye fuel economy! Plus also not that good in an auto to have such a high idle all the time I think.

It's not changing the economy or idle rpms, it's just the valve that remains open to give it that hollow note.
