Third gen exhaust vs. a ridge line

They seem to like Lowe’s parking lots this is where the mating call of the fierce beast Hondus Maximus Ridgliniis can be heard

 

I am actually lol . Will be on the lookout .

 

so your saying a taco sounds the same as a 850hp pushrod v8? damn what exhaust do you have lemme get one of those asap

 

I'd love to have a fuckin 427 SS, a 70 Chevelle vert (I'll even take the lowly 396), a 65 Buick Riviera GS, a 73 Super Duty T/A, or any number of muscle cars, but all those are pretty expensive nowadays. Yeah hard to beat the sound of a V8 attached to a chambered exhaust, but until someone drops an LSx into their rig I think we're just gonna have to lower our expectations for what sounds we can produce.

 

Swarm of very angry bees. It’s awesome.

 

Man up and get your truck fixed. Don't be so passive and take a service writers word for anything. Talk to the shop foreman if you're not satisfied. There are TSB's for all of your issues

 

he's full of shit dude. I have none of those issues. I'm pretty sure I've seen the kazoo thing here
and a couple plugs in those holes resolved it. The squeaky leafs could be that the u-bolts need to
be torqued - I think to 75 lbs, not sure on that amount though. The little chirps you'll here at idle may
be that your fuel pump has an issue.

 

I worked in a gas station when I was in high school.

The owner was a pretty decent mechanic.

I had to give him a ride once, and he was pointing out all the problems with my beater car by the sounds.

"What should I do?" He laughed and told me to turn up the volume on the radio. "See, all fixed"....lol

Sorry man, but your post reminded me of that ride.

 

Come on , no desire to even try it to find out ? Oh well ,a silent Tacoma would be much better for me because all 4 and 6 cylinder engines sound like toys or lawn mowers the louder they get . It must be an age thing .

 

Find out what? No 3.5 will ever sound like a cup car.

About the only performance type vehicle I've never heard in person is a land speed racer.

And several straight 4, 6 and 8 cyl units, and some v6's can sound pretty darn good. It takes more than a muffler though!

If a ride doesn't get up and go, I too prefer it to be quiet. Noisey yet slow never has been my cup of tea.

 

I did not mean to rile anyone up . all I ever said was I thought my Tacoma's transmission and engine sound with the windows rolled up ( battery motored up lol)while accelerating in the higher rpms , sounded similar to the sound clip from the cockpit of the nascar I linked . It is more of a high speed sewing machine sound . Debating good engine sounds in my mind IS an age thing . But I digress .

 

Maybe the Ridgeline sounds better than a Tacoma........

So go buy one, you know.....cause it sounds better......

 

I am still waiting until I get to a Lowes store to stake it out to see and hear one lol.

 

Don't do it.....you might be hypnotized by the sound.....and the next thing you know, you will start craving tofu.....and organic pomegranate smoothie's, and attending fundraisers for the Daughters of Bilitis...

 

Wtf did I just read?

 

BUY A V8 IF YOU WANT GOOD EXHAUST SOUNDS!

 

Yeah those nascar sounds sure are a BITCH in the Mornin

 

Man, your Tacoma sucks - I would sell it if I had such a shit car, which I did with my 2014 Honda CR-V EX - hated that effing thing. Pretty simple Bro-hammer

 

Yea I think I will look at 2018 full size I know they’re slashing prices to make room for new 2019 then I can get out of this and get a real truck
