    Lightly modded N/A. Straight piped, hear so many people say it sounds like crap, I don't think mine sounds too bad. Some drive bys I did so i could hear how it sounds outside the car, thought I'd share with you guys.

    Yeah, it sounds like crap. You can't escape it without a turbo or turning the motor around.

    Yes it does.

    Anything 3800 based without a resonator sounds horrible. You can't lie to people that have had those setups.

    It's just a preference, and we have no smog here so might as well.

    Anything with a turbo sounds good lol. If i had sound clip of my friends turbo Gp with open cutout I'd post that, because it sounds like angels cumming.

    I don't know how you can prefer a straight piped FWD 3800 over a 2JZ, but to each their own.

    Here's a 3800 that sounds good.

    I just don't like the way higher-pitched exhausts sound. I grew up around my dad and all his friends muscle cars, and i guess that made me just like much lower pitched exhausts. That 2jz video to me sounds just like my friends Civic. lol
