370Z is no louder than other compact sports cars?

Waiting · 10-18-2009, 07:41 PM

I am very close to getting a new Z, but I hear alot of stuff about the Z being very loud. I see them on the road, and the exhaust is very overwhelming, like a Pony car's V8?
How does the cabin noise compare to other small/sports cars, like an Eclipse or GTi?

loud? I couldn't even hear the exhaust before i changed it lol. It actually p'd me off how quiet these cars are stock they definately need an aftermarket exhaust I reckon.

That.

There's definitely some road noise, but it's not enough for me to complain about.
Now, if i was driving a Lexus, this amount of road noise might be unacceptable.

Lol... that's what I'm satin now.

My mod list starts with brakes, then valve body and torque converter, then intake and exhaust. But I'm seriously considering exhaust first. The Z is way too quiet in cruise and you gotta floor it to hear it get crazy...

Isn't there that tanabe quiet exhaust for those that want to destroy the cars personality. Also you can opt for non sport for less road noise. Switch to hankook ventus es4 if u want completely stealth. That should completely dorkify the Z. Lol

If you are close to buying one don't you think you should test drive one first and make an educated buying decision

I know.. I'm lame like that

I agree, the exhaust is very quiet the inside road noise is there but nothing to worry about. Why don't you test drive a Z and find out for yourself. Instead of listening to other people's negative comments
