Richmond Drivers Alright, which one of you straight piped their Altima?

The VQ35 is arguably one of the worst sounding engines ever, and then to go and give it a straight pipe is wild. A fart can Civic is nothing compared to what I just heard. Thanks for the laugh

Yeah that would sound horrible. And I grew up when cheap fart cans were a dime a dozen too. 😂

Now I know why people hate the VQ, I used to not get why that platform become a meme, it’s a good engine but the hate just make me curious. Growing up just listen to another Honda Vtec and RB, makes me opened up about this engine.

As someone who used to own a car with a VQ35, I would have to agree. Those engines sound amazing in stock form, but I have never encountered a good sounding aftermarket exhaust for those cars.

I’ve seen a few Infiniti G’s and maybe a few Z cars around, but I haven’t seen a V6 Altima.

The VQ35 sounds pretty good stock.

There are some atrocious sounding vehicles out there, mostly luxury vehicles where their owners decide that when it sounds like their car is about to explode, the catalytic converter is about to drop, backfiring like its on running on rubbing alcohol, and the mellifluous cacophony of the sound of a thousand idiots hitting sheets if metal with rebar, THEN.... ONLY THEN.... does it please the owner's ear at the cost of absolutely annoying everybody around them.  

This egregious act is common place among Merc and BMW owners especially. 

As someone with a luxury vehicle with an aftermarket exhaust (that sounds normal and respectful to myself and others).... your cars sound like dog shit. They sound broken. And you look like a buffoon.  How are you not embarrassed that you ruined a perfectly good car with a perfectly good sound?  Fix it and acquire taste in modding cars.

Normally one would find a straight-piped Nissan Altima in Surrey...

Yes I'm sure you're well informed on what cars are driven in what cities lol . "Surrey" is just code for when /r/Richmondbc users want to blame brown people without being explicit about it.

Well, I did spend a few years as a courier driving around all of the Lower Mainland. But I didn't say a word about brown people now, did I?
