So I have a 2019 GT A10 and within the first few weeks of getting it (this was like June 2020), I decided to put on a Roush axleback as well as a H-pipe which made the car really loud and the cold starts almost obnoxious. But I like the sound of it a ton however I've had some concerns with the automatic transmission side of things.
Does anybody feel that having a super loud exhaust is at time frustrating on an automatic just because the exhaust note just doesn't sound pleasant when the car wants to shift too fast and stays in a particular gear for like only a second before going to the next? Do you know what I mean? When coming off a red light, the exhaust sounds good off the bat but then it upshifts too fast and then it just doesn't sound great at all -- and it's obviously amplified with the louder exhaust (by the way this is in Sport mode, not normal so there's no skipping of gears cause that sounds even worse with a loud exhaust).
Anyways, I've just been thinking weather to go back to a stock setup or not cause I still have the factory mufflers and the resonator. Anyone feel the same with the A10s and loud exhausts? I know I could've just went with a manual and not had these concerns but I just got a great deal on this specific car so that's a moot point. Oh and I also know I could just use paddles all the time, and it does obviously allow me to choose when to upshift but going through 10 gears while in the city is just not practical all the time.
