I dont know, I've been driving mine for 2 months now. I keep listening for this "bad engine noise" that I keep hearing about.
I think the car sounds absolutely awesome on the low end, like when you're just backing out of a spot, and begining to get going in 1st gear. Sounds like an old American muscle car, but in a good way, not something I really expected from this car, but I love it every time I hear it.
Then it sounds "normal", as normal as an engine can sound, in the middle, and then it get's a little pitch-y at the top. Now, I've come to Nissan from driving high reving Honda's so the "pitch-y" sound Im hearing out of this car, is exactly what I've come to expect. No doubt a new exhaust or intake(s) would change this sound some more, if that's the way people want to go.
