Engine sound - opinions

Ok, maybe it's just me but everytime I send the pedal to the floor it sounds more like a V8 than any V6 I've ever heard before.

It sounds awesome! Am I alone in this or is every car like the TL the same?

yeah, I love the sound as well.

My friend has 2003 accord coupe 6mt. His sound was very nice and when I got my TL i was wishing that it had the same sound.....well waited until break in and then I stepped on it. The sound is alot more stronger and its like a growl more than anything. Made my friend's car sound like a puppy!

do you have a aftermarket intake on it?

If you love the sound now, wait till u hear it with an aftermarket intake.. hehe

On my old 2000 V6 Accord (same j-series motor), i had an AEM intake on it, and it was insanely loud (but not in a bad way).

I cant' wait to get my TL!

NO intake yet. I am sure I will as soon as I get more data on them. I think I have heard ingen as a better sound.....but who knows.

My friend's accord has a sweet ass sound. I think the TL has more agressive tone IMO. I think you are gonna love your new TL !!!

Agreed, it doesn't sound like a 4.6/5.4 but damn for a V6 it sure sounds sweet!
