Sound from Z with 7spd auto w/ mod exhaust

dwntwnall4u · 07-12-2011, 05:05 AM

How do the various aftermarket exhaust sound, with the 7 spd Auto trans? Reason i ask is that most times I hear a car 6cyl or less with an exhaust and automaitic it kinda sounds terrible when driving off from a stop.

Sounds funny if left in D. Too many gears.

Most of the time I drive in M and it sounds fine.

I'm not sure what the tranny you have has to do with what the engine sounds like... It's the same motor??

But for the sake of the OP, here's a link to my youtube channel with my Dyno Vids and Canyon Run vids...

I think The op thinks the sounds are different between the two tranny because people with a manual tends to shift gear at a higher rpm which equals to a louder sound. And the people that drives with D, automatically shifts at a lower gear = almost no sound.

Well my hfc + hks is a bit on the quiet side when I drive on D in hot weather but when I'm on manual mode, you better put on some ear plugs.

Well I could understand that... but then again, thats something you should understand when you buy a 7AT. And that's what the Manual mode is there for. To allow you the control to shift when you want... I mean, this is sort of a common sense thing when you talk about the different trannys..

That's what I was thinking. Never thought about the exhaust sound with the auto till recently. Chose auto because I've been driving manual trans over 25 yrs. Even my URD supercharged Tacoma is manual. Getting old.
