nice Mr. Majofo!!!!!

The FX37 or whatever the fark it's called now has a decent-sounding exhaust note too. Driving one today as my car's in the shop getting its winter tires swapped out back to summers.

Nissan / Infiniti def know exhaust notes.

I recently had a QX80 for a day and man that thing sounded SWEEET.

Majofo

44's are nice but it seems to tame the beast even more. No resonators on V that I'm aware of.. other than the mufflers, it runs straight from the cats. Corsa makes a nice axleback with a nice note, but it's way too much $$. I might go flowmaster + x-pipe.

No way.. the S/C is plenty and I'd miss the whine.. That big ass hair dryer does look cool though. I'd be concerned it might inhale cats, dogs and small children.

Some guys have swapped out the S/C for the hair dryer though.

I really want the Corsa exhaust they make for my Durango...its pretty sick.

Yumcha

How much would that cost to put in?

Sarlacc

The exhaust itself is 1300, not sure about the install.

Cant afford it right now now anyway.

ttribe

Ooooohhh, the F-Type. Forgot about the F-Type.

Yumcha

Oh yes. Those are definitely symphonic.

I really enjoyed the NSX (no, not the vaporcar that's incoming) exhaust note too when I test-drove one a few years back...the salesman pulled it up from the lot and when he fired it up and revved it (probably part of the pitch, ha), it had me at herro.




The other really memorable sound from a car I can recall was many years ago (more like in my schooling days) back in 1999 or something...Someone near my relatives' residence in Taiwan owned a Ferrari 360 Modena...it was just a lazy quiet Sunday morning and the guy started it up in the empty streets and the sound it made as it echoed around the condos/apartments...? Wow...From my vantage point on my uncle's balcony, the guy just drove the Ferrari around the empty block a few times and man, I could've watched and listened to that forever.

My favorite is still the maserati quattroporte. I remember i got the goose bumps when it drove by me.

and LFA.....

Majofo

My favorite is that custom exhaust on the W220 S600 that sounds like an F1 car.

Sarlacc

Funny thing is I can't stand the sound of the Quattroporte...the modded ones anyway...it sounds so hollow and euro, just not for me.

Sarlacc

I so want to drive this around my neighborhood. Our community Facebook page would blow up with whiners

Aman

My favorite is an Aston V12, particularly starting up...

Went to a local VW dealer to check out the Golf R for fun.

RPhilMan1

$46.5k? Fuck that.

I hope no one buys it.

Majofo

What's great is it screams at even a low speed.

I hope they don't sell a single one.. Buyers should boycott these stealerships.

SamDoe1

$6k market adjustment? There are dealers all over selling for a little over invoice. Wonder what sucker is going to pay that.

oonowindoo

I am pretty sure some idiot will buy it for $46k.

Majofo

Well it is a VW

That Golf R has been sitting at the lot for several weeks now. The salesmans were like "I don't know why. It's a hot car. Nobody's buying this one."

I'm like

Seriously. I would never give them a nickel of my money for anything from that one.

Aside from that markup crap, the car looked nice. They weren't allowing anyone to test drive it since it's such a freaking unicorn car for them.

Not sure if I can ever justify paying $40k for that car over a $26k WRX though.

Majofo

WRX is 26k?!.. looks about right.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, you can get one for $26k. And call me crazy, I like WRX's interior more.

The GTi and Golf R interior look pretty boring to me for some reason. I've always had that feel ever since I test driven MK5.

Not sure if you guys have sat in a new WRX/STi, the interior has been improved by a mile. The previous generation was a complete junk though, that's for sure.

Majofo

fk the interior.. might as well strip it. I'm talking about it looking like a base model focus.

Majofo

SamDoe1

Where the hell is this dealership that they claim a Golf R is a unicorn? I bet that car sits for months and they sell it for below MSRP eventually.

The whole you can't drive it thing is BS too, hate when dealers say things like that.

New Subie interiors are great as are the new transmissions in the WRX. However, the real features are to be had in the WRX limited which is ~$30k and well worth the money for the upgrades. At this point it's not even worth it to get the STi over the standard WRX.

The interiors in the Golf are just quality feeling and you don't get even close to that in the Subaru, even the new ones. They do look boring but they feel awesome. Also, the WRX can't be had in hatchback anymore. FTL.

Majofo

I guess I can post this elsewhere like funny internets thread.. but figured you guys would appreciate it the most. The 36th Bangkok International Motor Show went down a couple weeks ago. Looks like Alpine went all out.

You can't have it all I guess.. or should I say, can't buy everything.

Majofo

Miz head just exploded.. bof 'em

I never keep my car stock. So I really don't mind how it looks in a stock form. Always envision how it would look when I mod it.

Mine would look something like this, and that's all I care.

Stop it. What are you Meatzy V2?

Majofo

I just a hatter.. still upset it doesn't look as they once suggested.

oonowindoo

i actually saw that video on FB last week. Those bitches must have been on something good.

Yummy will ruin the video soon...

Majofo

Still up!

btw C&D and R&T subscriptions are back for $4.50. They ask to renew for two years for like $8-10 afterward as well. Not free, but at least you don't have to click bait quiz bs.

Sarlacc

Great app...Next Issue

Think its $15 a month and you subscriptions to a ton of magazine including C&D, R&T, Automobile...etc

Not a bad deal. Bunch of others, too, like Rolling Stone, Wired, Mens Health etc

Ken1997TL

Too bad for Miz, they're all ladyboys.

Majofo

aww you spoiled it.. hopefully he doesn't scroll down.

Majofo

Wow.. +140 pubs and it includes Automobile.. that's terrific. Does it still include all the ads? I'm guessing yes. I'd need to get a dedicated tablet for the shitter.

Only 9.99 if you exclude weekly pubs, +access from up to five devices, +can download content and store it for reading later (like flights, etc), +interactive content, +easy navigation and customizable library.. great app and execution. I might try it before my next trip coming up.
