Exhaust question

Hello,

I've been accustomed to NA cars all my life and if it's one thing i've learned to hate and will never miss, it's cabin drone. I was told that FI vehicles have little to no cabin drone when an aftermarket exhaust is added, is this true?

I'm currently looking at the ARK. I want something subtle and for it to only roar when it needs to. Even if it isn't subtle, I just want all of the noise on the outside. My 350z's drone at 3-4k rpm is deafening and gives me a headache at times.

BTW it's an absolute pleasure to be on these forums. A lot of information, friendly members, and awesome marketplace.

Hopefully my trade will go through and i'll have an Evolution 8.

That is not true.

What is true is that the turbo does do some muffling of the exhaust sound. So for example, a turbo car with X exhaust will be quieter than an NA car with the same exhaust.

Drone in these cars can be horrible (4 cylinders suck in that way) so choose your exhaust components carefully.
