Even car guys will hate you.

but hey buddy, your mustang/challenger/Corvette is loud

Yeah, it’s loud because it’s a fucking sportscar, being loud is entirely in character and useful for the driver to hear out gear shifts on a twisty road.

In a truck? Just makes you look like a clown.

to hear out gear shifts

Can’t you use manual if you want to change gears?

If only there was a dial, or display that showed how much revolutions your engine made in a minute. Oh wait there is, it’s called an RPM gauge. You don’t need need your loud as fuck sports car to judge when to shift gears, ya idiot. Look at the RPM gauge

Idk it did help to hear wtf the motor was doing when I’m off road trying to modulate the throttle to get up an obstacle.

But… it got old. So I went quieter before I got rid of it. I’m keeping the 4R stock because it’ll sound stupid (to me) with louder exhaust.

I don’t mind loud exhaust if the motor sounds good and it isn’t obnoxiously loud.

V8? Yes. V10? Sure. (Gas or diesel). If it’s 4 or 6 cyl with manual trans? Yes.

One thing I can’t stand is econoboxes with auto trans and high stall torque converters that are just always loud. It just sounds terrible to me. It doesn’t sound like a sports car. It doesn’t sound fast or powerful. It sounds like a poseur lol. Sorry I can’t help it.

I have the active exhaust on my Vette open almost all the time and it doesn’t help me with shifting. I just like it.

Tell me you’re a jackass with a loud sports car without saying you’re a jackass with a loud sports car.

But it’s “entirely in character” so it’s fine right? -_-

“to hear out gear shifts”

Buddy, if the engine noise inside the cabin and the emphasis on the tachometer isn’t enough for you then maybe you should give up on twisty roads and sport cars.

A loud exhaust makes driving more fun. I will not compromise.

No, I didn’t say obnoxiously loud, but sports cars deserve to be loud

No, they don’t deserve to be loud, people deserve quietness, cars are objects, they don’t deserve shit.

And I say that as the owner of a twin charged vehicle and three motorcycles including a liter bike.
