On the way home from Irongate Car Condos in Naperville Illinois. Classic white and blue. Beautiful car and sounded awesome. I'm tempted now to remove the resonators after playing a little next to him. Couldn't even hear my Porsche next to the R. :D

I want the sound of the R but I also don't want everyone within 30 miles to know when I cold start it.

The GT350's automatically do an exhaust function check as soon as you press the clutch in or give the car accessory power. They flip open and closed or closed and open and then close. Now you can start the car when this is happening and yeah that is LOUD but just wait a tick until you hear the valves stop moving. But you also have a Coyote engine so that whole sounding like a 350R thing? Well, that's gonna be an expensive mod list...I'd recommend just picking one up instead. :thumbsup:

Also, I start mine in the garage and then open the door.

If you want to see what the resonator removal is like, I should be at C&C Sunday at the Arboretum. I even let you take it for a spin, bring the Porche.

Don't the valves stay closed if you are in reverse when starting the motor? I remember reading that and for mine it is a little less loud when she fires up

I have a voodoo engine in my GT350.

Edit: I just realized I never changed my "drives"

Mine does not cycle if I put it in reverse first. It's still "not quiet".

Yes. Mine stays closed when started in reverse. It sounds like an explosion in my condo garage when it lights up. I am waiting for the fine notice.:shrug: :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Wriggly,

That looks like Kirk Rd. on the east side of St. Charles.... correct?

I haven't seen that car around the Tri-Cities / Fox Valley area before - the only other R that I know of is a Lightning Blue / Black stripe one that I've seen (and heard) at a distance twice late last summer.

Did you talk with the owner?
