    If you like your car, you want it to sound nice. Not an app on your phone.

    I know this place is very anti car. But like most things there’s a middle ground.

    You can have a slightly louder exhaust system that accentuates the good sounds of your engine while not being a nuisance.

      I’m not anti-car a bit, I’m a mechanic from a family of mechanics and though I appreciate the sound of a nice engine running, I don’t see the value in volume personally. Loud doesn’t equate to running efficiently or having power (edit) all of the time.

      I also hear so many at work that maybe it’s taken the fun out of it. Nothing like having engines constantly running full throttle around you all day to make you value a quiet ride home.

      I definitely get it as a car guy, I just have had loud engines bother me so much throughout life that I try and be as considerate as possible unless it’s absolutely necessary but again I don’t judge you, it’s just not for me. Gas engines bother plenty of people but I still like and drive em so hey I’m no different
