Default Factory exhaust sounds good

I swear I didn't see this video here before.





The car's battery was a little low on juice perhaps?

Pretty cool, but why on earth didn't he rev the engine?

Sounds good.
My 2006 sounded so quiet from the factory, I needed to spend and extra thousand for after an after market exhaust.

Or better yet, a burnout.

Sounded good for a factory set up...I would like to hear it in person before judging it needs an upgrade as my current set up sounds like a much deeper growl.

I hope so. I was embarrassed every time I pulled up next to a stock Mustang GT or better. Ford did a much better job on their stock setup. Ended up with a Corsa system which the wife, of all people, insisted upon. She was as embarrassed as I was. Said a corvette should sound like a corvette, not a caddie.

They always sound louder when cold, because the timing is retarded to light off the converter.

I bet that was not stock exhaust and sound was from the sport exhaust option.

Wouldn't the sport exhaust option still be stock?

Yes. Maybe base is a better word.

Of course it's an audio recording, but to my ears the higher flowing C7 NPP sounds better than even the modded C6 NPP exhaust.

The after market guys are probably upset that GM may take a chunk of their business.

Get notified of new replies

To Factory exhaust sounds good
