Even car guys will hate you.
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.
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? -_-
Your fine may vary...
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.
Can't you use manual if you want to change gears?
Yep, I base mine off the engine sound during spirited driving
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.
