Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme.

Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust.

So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).

Obviously the author has an agenda.

Guarantee if they did the same study with the same 500 students (who are prob 18-25 in age), but the question was framed "Do you like loud music" or "Do you think loud music is cool"

They would get exactly the same results!

But i gotta admit, quality mufflers over straight pipe or fart cannon ftw.

The people living across the road from me (roughly 30m away) have various cars with loud exhausts. It's never fun whenever one of those cars fires up, especially at 6am.

2 fat mufflers all the way!

This is why I like my Varex rear box and a big resonator in the mid pipe

When open, it is obviously louder, but not annoyingly so, and it has all the deep choppy goodness of a camed 4" single on a V8 putting around the neighbourhood, it also sounds it like war at WOT, which I 🥰

Prior to the Varex, start up in the garage would shake everything in the garage and rattle the plates in the kitchen, now, on early morning start ups and late night arrivals it is as stealth as 10 stealth things, apart from the little bit of blower whine you wouldn't know what is under the bonnet, which keeps the neighbours and sleeping family happy

I have the other problem, I have the exhaust closed, or open, and the sound changes like 5%. My issue is just how f***king loud the engine bay actually is. Anyone got a muffler for that?.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
