I refer to them as “cool guys.”
Just put a vuvuzela in the exhaust pipe.
Just remove all the exhaust manifold and let the gases just exit the engine without any noise filtering.
After about a couple of hours of driving, the owner will probably come back and ask for louder pipes.
It must be hard when your accomplishments are so little that no one notices you exist; i might be an obnoxious man child just to get people to notice me too.
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”
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
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? -_-
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.
to hear out gear shifts
Can’t you use manual if you want to change gears?
Ironically enough nobody in the world has been deterred from loud exhausts because of the cost. You literally just cut the muffler off, you can do it for under $10 working from scratch
