I tried it.... It's not half bad 👍

IMO a semi-racing exhaust on the RX-8 concept-II, makes it sound like this:
Can anyone else confirm whether it does or it's just me?

I tested it again, sounds a lot better than the stock one.
In your opinion it does...

Ya you're right, but remember; we're looking for the best "stock" sound. Some cars sounds closer to their stock variant with an exhaust on this game 👍

Oh, alright. I see what you mean.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for your recommendations, sorry they didn't quite fit 👎

It's ok. I just hope I could've helped in any way. 👍

MYTH CONFIRMED
Good fun when you take it out in a room full of noobs and humming children and tell them it's been engine swapped!
How does PD think that changing the exhaust would remove 10 cylinders from the displacement of the Veyron's engine?! (Or at least, would lose the 16 cylinder characteristic note.)

I wonder what other cars in GT5 have an exhaust that sounds like the car had an engine swap.

Pretty much all the Japanese 6 cylinder engines. Accord EX Coupe with Sports exhaust = Supra RZ with full race exhaust, for example.
Same goes for semi race on most NSX's, giving the exact same effect, (Supra sound) Funniest I found was the Infiniti G35, I think, which can sound like a Skyline, NSX or Supra!

The amount of squeaky voices I've heard offering me a trade for it is hilarious, especially since they also seem to be aware of the trade cap sometimes.
There's a few others that get this "sound transplant" treatment, but can't think of them off the top of my head. I think I may have even posted some very early in this thread's life, as I reviewed each individual exhaust across a vast number of cars.

300ZX sounds terrible with the semi racing.
The premium 300ZX sounds fantastic with the sports exhaust.
Not necessarily a sound test, but a video i made wit the sports exhaust, when you actually hear it. haha. Start at 1:35

The TVR Speed 6 (the premium one) with full racing exhaust sounds absolutely amazing. Is it realistic or not? I don't know, I have no idea what a TVR sounds like lol. I just really like how it sounds. Unfortunately I don't use 3rd person/chase view so I never actually hear it all that much. I sometimes just switch to that view to hear it, but end up going back because that view is terrible.

I wouldn't say it's a "characteristic" 16-cylinder note, although it's caused by 45° firing intervals, which is the natural angle for an even-firing, four-stroke 16-cylinder engine (like in my avatar: the crank pins are split by 45°). The characteristic 16 cylinder sound, for me, is the same as a cross-plane V8 or, rather, inline 8, since a V16 is usually two of those set at 135° (90+45) or 45°. That sound is two cross-plane fours offset by 90° - the Veyron is closer to two cross-plane fours offset by 45°.
There is only one other car that sounds like a Veyron "naturally", and it's this. It's not quite the same because the four turbo manifolds and the staggered nature of the "W16" cause unequalness in the exhaust that isn't there (in the same way as it is) in that monstrosity.
That's not unrealistic, they're all six-cylinders, so they're bound to sound interchangeable with similar exhaust setups! I'll not bother going into detail, but remember that all 6 cylinder engines tend to have their exhausts split into even firing triples, then joined together further downstream. Performance exhausts tend to be equal length, so the difference in geometry just isn't apparent any more. It still is on the intake side, but that's not in GT.
There are loads of cars that have totally the wrong sounds when you start modifying, and too many that are stock, too. This all means that we need more flexibility in the sound customisation aspect of the game - if we want our NSX to sound like a Supra, we should be able to do it (because we can in real life), and vice versa. Sounds should be categorised by cylinder number and state of tune, and we should be able to pick them based on preference.
Ideally, you could design your own exhaust manifolds etc. and get the sounds via more realistic methods, but that's much harder to do...

The 300c sounds like the SST with race exhaust.

It makes me mad that PD did this with most of the exhaust sounds seems like they copied and pasted a lot of the sounds.
- 8,706
There are probably something like over 500 unique engines in the game, with four exhaust sounds each. That's 2000 sets of sounds (6500 - 7500 samples), at least, to have to produce for the game. There's going to be a little bit of copy and paste, although I wish it were confined to modified sounds only.

Gran Turismo 5, featuring over 1000 cars and 50 exhaust notes!!👍
