If you want to make your truck exhaust louder, most of these options will still apply to you. It doesn't feel as special as the Abarth, but it's still pretty cool for its own reasons.The following are some possible ways to make your exhaust louder with their relative cost. but it's also performing a real performance oriented task by holding boost between gears, so it's not just a poser sound maker. You don't get afterfire until you are pushing past 4000rpm in N/Custom but it is very predictable and even. The N sits pretty much perfectly between these two. The two ends of the afterfire spectrum in my mind are.Ī.) Abarth - You really need to be pushing the car to get loud afterfire out of it, otherwise you get different, more gentle noises.ī.) Modern BMW - Doesn't really matter if you are at high rev or low, WOT or no load, any throttle lift results in repeated, evenly spaced (and LOUD) pops. Meanwhile afterfire can be accomplished and just about any car and many manufactures are employing it on smog compliant cars from the factory. Therefore my brain is just programmed to associate burble = performance.

You don't get burbles on buttoned up CA Smog compliant triple catted exhaust systems, you need something a bit more free flowing. N is better all round, but it's not as lively.Ĭlick to expand.Totally agreed. The one thing I wouldn't miss is the grief I get when driving the Abarth, definitely don't get that with the N. It's impractical and noisy, and going over anything but a perfectly smooth road makes you go. It's not that I don't love my car, there's just a touch more character there.
But if push came to shove and one had to go, the one I think I'd cry over would be the Abarth. I'm lucky I can keep both cars, I like driving between them. The N is a better car, it's faster and a better drive but it's not as entertaining? Agree the N is scripted a bit.it's an easier drive but it delivers without fail every time. It's that seat of the pants bit in the middle where it just doesn't quite have enough power to do what you want, but if you just hang on an give it more it'll do it. The Abarth I have to hammer to get it anything out of it, you have to push and I like that when I drive it. I'm tempted to change the exhaust but haven't really looked into it, and I'm not sure if I should. The pops and bangs make me laugh (sorry to the kid when I did it under the bridge). TL DR: Does the N have the same "soul" as an Abarth or will I miss mine if I trade The Abarth wins for me all day long. Meanwhile if you drive the N at 7/10ths around town you will likely end up in jail. The fun in the N feels scripted.Īm I crazy? What have your experiences been like? I do think that a big portion of it is like _Emma mentioned, you need to cane the Abarth to get the most of its meager power, even around town.
The Abarth never feels like the ECU is telling it to make fun noises, it just does it as a result of straight pipes and a tiny turbo. The factory anti-lag is amazing, but it just doesn't add much personality to the car. I only have about 15 mins of seat time in a Veloster N but the experience left me wanting more sound. I get it, I'm an 8 year old at heart, I love afterfire, but I also love my car's low rev rumble, quiet burbles on low speed engine braking, easily audible turbo spool, blow off noises, and even the angry raspy exhaust at WOT. However it seems like the N community is really tied up in the the pops and bangs and don't really talk about any other characteristics of the driving experience. I agree that the N exhaust is softer than the Abarth, a little bit outside the car and very much so inside the car. Do you like the character of the N exhaust compared to the Abarth? I still very much want to replace my Abarth with a VN but I'm afraid I'll miss that Italian charm too much.
