Civics louder than my SS with NPP? - Page 2

Might be louder, but it's a more annoying sound/frequency because it's coming from a 4cyl.

I'm just tired of going to car meets and having cars like civics ,BRZs, and velosters having such an aggressive exhaust system than my SS.

Please surrender your man card.......

Dude you got a V8 with NPP- they sound awesome. If you like the Civic better go to a chinese take-out and get a bowl of rice.

Is that supposed to be an insult or are you asking him out on a date?

Don't you know, the Japanese don't know how to make a car, so yes, it's a very astute declaration of their capabilities.

Actually, IDK what it means, but it is quite a statement - Chinese = Japanese? It's all the same right? ...LOL...

wow.

Av...set us straight man cuz ...wow.

I`ve heard a nice sounding Civic several times. I remember the vanity plates read CIVETTE.

The Camaro NPP sounds great in my opinion. You can go louder and deeper in tone for sure but costs 1000$ more.....Borla or MBRP

DenverTaco07 · 07-24-2017, 11:35 PM

alright, you're off the hook.

ok, so to speak on the topic of loudness vs. sound quality, i wish all my neighbors with deisel trucks new this. my guess is they do, but they follow the mantra of wwadd.

oh and the harley's... southpark "the f word"

trophy hunter · 07-24-2017, 11:42 PM

I agree ...... louder does not always equal better
Take a stereo for example, one could make a tweeter or a sub extremely loud, on their own, but does that make for better sound ? ....... not necessarily

Its all subjective, listen to different ones, choose what YOU like .....and don't worry about anyone else's opinion

BrianL · 07-25-2017, 09:53 AM

The OP is 19! All of us that have been around longer wish we were him at 19! Dude, you drive an SS while they drive a civic!

I had seriously loud cars before. Got several fix it tickets with my 69 428 Mustang with Cherry Bomb mufflers behind the headers I put on (the old farts here will know Cherry Bomb mufflers). I like my NPP and it's tone, but there are a lot of choices out there. Watch out for drone though. My last Mustang with a BBK full exhaust droned like crazy.

Aggressive as in a swarm bees?? A civic? LOL I wouldn't be caught looking at one much less driving one.

They don't not sure if the OP has a hearing issue.

Naw....just keep it stock, still sounds a lot better than a Civic.

Louder doesn't necessarily mean better... Those Civic owners are just trying to grab attention from people.. "Look at me! I threw money away! I'm cool!"

And like others have said, there is no way a Civic 4 banger will every sound aggressive, no matter how much of a tuner the owner is.
