that exhaust is way too loud for me....or i just don't like the sound it makes?

[yayforaddison]

To bad the track was wet. Id like to see the smoke all that power puts down!

[Hanzo]

Not liking the tail lights. The exhaust sounds aweful.

Good stuff.

I found the wheel/tire setup interesting. 17x8.5 +31 & 17x9 +45. This would give the front a wider track if they used same sized tires, but they used 215/45 & 245/40 tires.

Tire width does not affect track. Track is center to center, not outside edge to outside edge.

I don't know what you guys are complaining about the exhaust sounds like a race car, which it is.

There are a lot of "race cars" sounds better than that. F1, WRC, DTM, Super GT, Le Mans, even the SR Scion Racing FR-S sounds better than that.

Well the SR Greddy FR-S that Gushi drives had it's motor swapped, so of course it sounds different.

It's what the FA20 sounds like though... This is the same motor but built up for the GT300 BRZ:

So if this is the car everyone is lusting after Nob's exhaust note is the noise you can expect to hear from the motor unless you swap it out. Liking or disliking is all a matter of personal taste though. I think it sounds fine. You dislike it. Whatever floats your boat.
