My opinion, I actually don't mind the sound of a vq if it's DONE RIGHT! No muffler/ resonator deletes, 3in with a muffler on the end sounds good, nice and smooth and deep, muffler/ res delete sounds like the aftermath of taco bell.

[@spookcityghouls]

I was never a Honda guy, but in the mid 2000s, I bought a CRX just to see if I could see what the hype was all about. I was severely disappointed, however, the one positive I got from it was being able to claim that I had the best sounding one in town. The only thing I did different was throwing in a resonator rather than going strait piped. Even my exhaust guy was like, finally.. A Honda that doesn't make me wanna weld my ears shut.

[@EricZAchille]

Well said. Could you make a list of the 10 best sounding engines? Maybe just exclude stuff that the common people can't buy such as the Carrera GT or the LFA. So maybe best sounding engines for cars that are under $200,000.

[@ctobias1984]

Audi 2.7 and vr6 ❤

[@KeijiSuwa]

As someone whose daily driver is a Subaru WRX with a cat back exhaust, the last point of "only car guys would like that sound" is so very true. I've been a car guy all my life and the sound was one of the reasons why I got the car in the first place. In addition, the exhaust notes, stock or aftermarket, of high-performance cars can really only be truly appreciated by car enthusiasts. My dad's Porsche 930 has an exhaust that's very rumbly when idling. My late grandma, his mother who knew nothing about cars, never liked it because she thought it always sounded like something was wrong with it lol.

[@FELIPE8226M]

True

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

As a classic motorsports enthusiast all Subarus sound like bootleg Porsche engines that are underwater. What a terrible sound... And worst of them all is the Fa20........

[@RennieAsh]

I like certain types of sounds. Excessive rumbling, screaming etc is no go. I do like a nice harmonic sound. I'd be just as content with a car sounding like the starship enterprise too.

[@nukesdabomb5704]

I own a 370z, ive never heard a trumpet sound. Here in Australia, nobody straight pipes or removes mufflers on Z's. If this doesnt change your mind, the Motordyne exhaust makes the VQ sound amazing

[@Hype679]

Craig said VQs, and I'm sitting here wondering why the venerable Altima wasn't mentioned. If anybody wants to talk tragic Nissans, this one's it. This is the unofficial car of being done with life.

[@wisdomSP]

You're not kidding. Fools in my town drive around in straight piped Civics that sound like shit. Reminds me ball bearings in a washing machine and most of these cars couldn't get out of their own way even if they had to. I find it hilarious that I can silently blow their doors off from a dig while they make a bunch of noise trying to get to 50.

[@Jonathan8440_]

Not usually a fan of v6 mustangs but my buddy had a s197 v6 with around 350 crank hp and a low burbles/pops and bangs tune. Ofc it couldn’t beat the sound of a v8 but it was pretty damn good tbh

[@kcm732]

those BMWs should have been wayyyyyy further up the list. should've grouped V6 Camero/Mustang/Challenger to make room for GTi's with all their DSG farts. those things literally sound like vacuum cleaners that have the ability to flatulate, put those at #2 right behind the VQ. Also, honestly, the subaru EJ boxer should have been either #10 or not on the list at all. if its not totally straight piped or had the unequal length headers removed for equal lengths, they sound amazing / unique, smooth and almost soothing. but thats just my ears.

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

Before I was born, my dad was a merchant seaman based out of San Francisco. He had a ‘68 Firebird. And a friend of a friend was a former factory mechanic for the Pontiac trans am race team. So thankfully, he had zero trial and error. He knew what all the hot tickets were.

[@DJIronChef]

[@ChristineMacWhirter]

Another reason they changed the side exhaust on that dodge viper was because if it was running and the driver or passenger got out it would hurt and, in some case, burn their leg. This caused people to call and complain and with what you said about the censors all added up so the switched it to the back.

[@craiglieberman]

Absoulutely correct.

[@alrod9535]

I would love to hear Craig's opinion on my VQ Z that I owned for 20 years and took forever to dial in the sound with current mods. I'm sure he would have a different opinion on VQs at that point. Also, the reason they are used at takeovers is because the Z is such a good car to drift, but doesn't mean that every Z/vq owner partakes in them.
