I’m with you. I love when a car has a good sounding exhaust.
Can't you just put some headphones on and enjoy the sound of explosions?
Does everyone in a 10km radius have to "enjoy" it as well?
So you like the people who always use their loud speakers instead of headphones?
You do realize there are plenty of exhaust systems that aren’t absurdly loud, right? There is a whole middle ground between silent and too loud.
I don't. To me the exhaust and noise are terrible but unavoidable issues of a combustion engine. A fetish with it and attempts to hear more of it are alien concepts to me. I would only modify my car to reduce the issue and I don't know what you need to do to enjoy your "pleasure".
If it's not loud (assuming I can trust you understand what not loud means) how can you hear from inside the car? And if you can hear from inside, people outside can hear it MORE. So it's an impossible concept to me. Like enjoying hurting others but that they don't feel pain.
Or do you mean that anything below killing people and damaging structures is not absurdly loud and therefore acceptable?
Rather than enjoy something real, why not enjoy a video of someone else doing it? 🤣
I get the distance part, and I fully agree. I should not be able to hear your car from that far.
I like seeing atomic explosions. Surely I should be able to create one in real life because it's a total different feeling than seeing the video.
Your pleasure should never be above the safety and rights of others. I understand headphones won't give you the same "pleasure" as the sound of real explosions, but that's the limits of how you should be able to enjoy it.
Right? Good doesn’t have to be obnoxiously loud.
I’d argue that in order for it to sound good, it shouldn’t be deafeningly loud. You need to be able to hear it some, but not enough that people 2 blocks down from you can hear.
Agreed. Mine still had the catalytic converter and everything. Just replaced the stock muffler with Thrush mufflers, and ran dual exhaust from the cat back.
Absolutely, I love moding my bikes for a good throaty induction snarl, high compression saw tooth like exhaust gases, even the cam timing can get touched on for the sound I'm looking for.
Overly large diameter silencers/mufflers drown everything I love about engine sounds, it's just the same loud drone at idle, part throttle or wide open, nasty.
Who on this thread hears a lexus LFA and just gets down right jealous? but yeah a stock 1.5 ltr honda with a 4 inch exhaust is um.... shit, car guys make up words that are kinder, like "it's a little boomy on the highway" but it's just shit in your ears.
