I fell in love with the styling of the Crossfire coupe wnen they first came out. I still love the timeless styling. I purchased a roadster in 2005 because I live in California and because I have rairly been without a convertable in my lifetime. I love the raodster styling also, both with the top up and top down. I enjoy the exhaust sound when accelarating with the top down. I'm just curious if the sound is as exciting in the coupe? Can you hear it with the windows up and the A/C on, or do you need to have the windows down? I guess this is a minor detail but it sure enhances the experience in the roadster.

An early "Happy Thanksgiving" to all!

 

the stock exhaust sounded good with the windows down, but I still couldn't hear it on the highway. I can hear it just fine with the magnaflow .

 

I "upgraded" to a roadster a few months ago after having a coupe. I could hardly hear the engine in the coupe (even with the windows down). Boy, what a difference the roadster makes with the top down. I hear the engine just fine (and love it).

 

Ditto!

While I liked the sound of the stock exhaust with the top down, I didn't care for the lack of sound. I wanted a bit more aggressive sound, especially after pulling up alongside various 350Zs and G35s and listening to their exhaust. Now, with the Magnaflow cat-back I not only have a wonderful symphony emanating from the tailpipes but the volume is perfect and it now sounds even better than the Z/G cousins.

 

The exhaust sound is definitely louder in the roadster than the coupe when accelerating hard. The SRT6 is louder than both, especially when you get over 4000 rpm.

 

The exhaust sound is one good reason to go topless.

The tires "chirping" on the pavement is another.

The wind over the car is one more.

This car was made to BE a roadster.

An interesting side note. Jane Bridges mentioned that she had never heard the sound of her Supercharger. I have to say that when we were stopped on the Dragon by the police it was funny to hear all the SRT's coming up the hill, their superchargers whinning hard.

As you all went by the cops just smiled.

Great sound! I could hear it 'cause my top was down.

The way it should be!

I missed reading about that if it was posted. What happened?

Now, back to the subject. The SRT exhaust is awesome. I wish the limited had that deep sound. Magnaflow sounds like the way to go.
