Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Car go vroom

Guessed that much, modern cars cant really do much more with the stupidly restrictive exhausts. Gone are the days when a sport car had a roar that could be heard from miles away..... 😞

Every car enthusiast should cry more about Mitsubishi than any other Japanese offerings from the 90's that have been discontinued.  Mitsubishi isn't ever coming back.  Ever.

What?

Decat is on its own good for like  10whp or less on most cars and trucks which is well within the typical dyno margin of error. I don't particularly want to hear a car idling at 90db at 2am nor do I want to hear a straight pipe Hemi screaming down the street at 20mph. There can easily be a good balance between sound, cleaner emissions, and power.

Good thing car enthusiasts aren't the majority of buyers. There is a reason why these cars get killed off.

Fair enough.  Just remember that the next time you hear some fanboi cry about the lack of manual transmission offerings.

They can cry all they want, because thats all they do. They aren't buying offerings new, so manufacturers aren't going to produce them.

Honestly yes.

 

Even at autocross or track events it’s cool for all of about 10 minutes then after that, you wish it was a bit quieter. 
 

sometimes your ears just need a break

I had tinnitus really bad once, it was keeping me up at night even with a fan blowing in my room. I tried a lot of things like popping my ears, wearing ear plugs, ear drops...just nothing helped. I was at my wits end! I called the Tinnitus help-line but it just kept ringing....
