I drove a 2018 TTRS on a business trip in LA with the performance exhaust last year. Around town slowing down with the dct in sport it would do these epic 3-2 shifts that sent an exquisite burbling racket out the back end.
I expected in LA that people would be over that sort of thing because there are performance cars all over the place, but everyone in earshot would turn when they heard it. Half frowned, half smiled. |

I get some dirty looks in the neighborhood. I believe it's because one of the neighbors has a blue M4 with MPE. He drives like an asshat, valves always open.
I drive slow and always in comfort mode with valves closed (but it's still pretty loud with the MPE). I wouldn't be surprised if people can't tell our cars apart. |

I of course own an M2C and love the sounds it makes when I'm able to enjoy it without disturbing others around me.
If you have the car in sport or sport+ in a dense residential area where you have no use for the mode then you are just being an asshole. It's like making waves when passing someone in a boat in a slow area. No one wants to hear the loud exhaust, cracks and pops as you drive by. You don't have to be going fast or driving dangerously. It's just immature of you. Put it into comfort mode. |

However, I always drive slowly in neighborhoods, in sport mode. Well, I did in the SS sedan 6MT, before I sold it... and I will in the M2C 6MT. The only time I might rev it in a neighborhood would be if, say, some old bag shook her head and muttered “idiot”. Edit: Ok, when I have to leave for work early in the morning, I did use the normal mode in the SS, and I will in the M2C, so I guess I’m not a total asshole. Hehe |

Aside from that, I'd have to say I disagree with your perspective. If I'm doing normal residential neighborhood speeds even in Sport+ the car just isn't that obnoxious. It's a M2C not a Gt350 or something with a super loud V8/10/12. Now if it was 5am and I was rolling through the hood at 40mph in 2nd with the valves open that would be inappropriate perhaps but that's not what we are talking about. I was out in town in a commercial area driving down a slip road between parking lots. I wasn't being obnoxious or irresponsible.

Back in the day I had a Civic with a loud exhaust. I was just cruising behind a planet killer SUV in a nice neighbourhood going very slow with my girl in the passenger seat. Guy pulls into his driveway and randomly just flipped me the bird. My girl and I were both stunned; we hadn't done anything at all and I clearly wasn't speeding. Just assuming he found the exhaust offensive. Don't know what to say. :

also the analogy that this is like making waves is a bit off. throwing waves/wake causes physical damage to personal property. some crackles at low speeds doesn't cause any harm at all.

How would you feel if someone drove around with a vuvuzela and produced loud cacophony behind you. Because that's the equivalent to an outsider who doesn't appreciate it. To most people, a loud exhaust has the emotional/intelligence of male burps and farts noises; it's not cute but other folks deal with because they have no choice. You guys think it sounds "deep" but all I see with I observe a grown-ass man driving around with a loud car is "Even though I'm over 30, I haven't emotionally progress beyond the age of 14." Not defending the old bag but I understand being startled by loud noises. The sound of some new BMWs with loud "pops and burbles" is like nails on a chalkboard to me, however a well-tuned turbo I6 with a muted exhaust can sound pretty sweet. Subtly is the key to making everyone happy. |

Don't worry guys, once we go all electric you'll still get dirty looks for your lack of sound creeping up on people. When AI takes over you'll get dirty looks when Terminators see you and use their laser guns. If you are lucky enough to get uploaded to the singularity you'll get dirty looks for not being dead.

screw the haters and what they think or say. It's when one of those haters decides that they are justified in taking action against your property is where we have problems. as long as you are not being a total squid and revving the engine to pop it or doing that shit when you wouldn't/shouldn't be mowing your lawn, it's fine.

If I resided in the secluded woods, far away from civilization, I would be rolling around in a loud ass Shelby, kicking up dust like Will Smith in "I Am Legend." Here in NYC, the houses are built close to each other and are made of Sheetrock which are paper-thin, so any noises are amplified, thus a loud exhaust would not win me any point with the neighbors. |

Had a old lady scream at me once when driving my Gt4. I was concerned and curious what I’d done to anger her. Turns out she just wanted to use my wing to iron her blouse.

I love exhaust sounds too, but I think many of us forget that the exhaust is much louder outside the car than inside.....that’s why BMW pumps fake noises into your cabin. I live in an urban area and I certainly expect it to be louder but I am positive many of the jerks with aftermarket exhausts way exceed state laws on noise. To add insult to injury I can hear all the revving and intentional downshifts to get the pops and burbles and squealing tires......every. single. day. I am certain some of the posters in this thread are significantly downplaying their behavior.

Society today cares WAY too much about if a person is offended. God forbid a person is offended we must coddle and accommodate them. I am tired of it and starting to push back. Apparently I have been raised to be too polite and ignore these cry babies. That strategy only lets these crybabies get away with more and more.
