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?.

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
