They added the sound tube to make it sound better. If you can't hear a 5.0 V8, there is something wrong with you.

I think the 5th gen V6 does need a louder exhaust combo to sound real good but I'm happy with the stock sound for a daily driver. |

^I was going to get the Infiniti emblem but.... A car ran over it, it made a loud pop sound and the officer thought it was a gunshot. :( Initial estimate at $3100(which seems low to me), but was told by a body shop that Allstate underwrote the estimate. But while it's in the shop i got a v6 camaro rental.... Rides much better, wider, less roll side to side too. I really like this..... But it doesn't feel like 312 hp, it's auto. It feels noticeably heavier too, which is a good and a bad thing, mostly good(feels more planted and stable). |

What were your 60' times? And what did you launch at? If it was mentioned already I missed it.

So you haven't heard the E60 M5 exhaust note, the best there is. Oh and for v8 SS, I wish I could get my exhaust note on here on sound clip, I will try in next 2 weeks when my car is back on the road.

How much smack are your friends talking now? I get the same kind of respect here. For some reason the general public thinks that the 5th gen SS is slow.

To the OP...great kills! Now when they smack talk you, your the one that still gets to hold you head high!

The softer ride also takes some of the feeling of speed away in my opinion. Many 5th gen SS owners have said their car didn't "feel" as quick as a 4th gen LS1. Just some food for thought.
