I'd rather hear someone dragging their fingernails down a blackboard than an S54 engine to be fair. If I wanted to hear a bag of nails then I'd just put a load of nails in a bag.I'd rather hear engine over exhaust. Feels like modern cars have excessively silly/artificial sounding muffled and louder exhausts with pops and bangs in order to compensate for the muted turbocharged engines all in the supposed name of being sporty. Is this is the second chapter of the 'M Sport/AMG sport/S-Line' trim fad?
Shame.
That doesn't really make sense to be honest. A "bell end" which you are clearly suggesting here is what the shape of the end of a penis looks like, not the end of a bell. The end of a bell usually has a ring, rim or a knob depending in which side you are looking from.

I didn't know that about DSG cars, explains the 'Audi burp' I guess
Housey ain't going to like this but the crackles came with a map I just had done on the Audi.. It's controlled with a button if you want to go full asbo (hardly ever);

I used to run a Decat straight through exhaust on my old Fiesta ST (Mk6) and that used to make some decent pops and bangs, and i kinda miss it tbh. Maybe im a bit "chavvy".
I think manufacturers should take the Ford/GT86 route with basically piping induction noise into the cabin. Works well and less cheaty than piping in artificial noise.
Yeah true... although I suppose not a concern for manufacturerOnly problem is if you change stuff on the intake or exhaust it can end up sounding wrong (or too loud) and you have to disconnect it. As they are kinda "tuned" for the stock setup
E.g. I changed just the intake pipe to a solid aluminium one on my GT86 and it completely changed the sound in the cabin. It got about 25% louder and much deeper. Great if you want more noise without waking next door I suppose.
