It’s obnoxious. It’s obnoxious in all the right ways. There are burbles, downshift farts, turbo noises, and rice krispies through 1st-4th, while 5th and 6th are still almost at the definition of reasonably quiet. But on tap, there is enough noise to shake the car. I should have done this sooner.

Have you tested it on a longer highway trip? What’s it to live with for a couple hours?

I am tempted to do something to my XJ to make myself an obnoxious dick. However I mainly want to entertain myself.

I drove for about 30 minutes total on the interstate, and the drone was present, but liveable.

I have no GoPro, so all I have is stationary video, but: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/make-kona-obnoxious-round-3-should-have-done-this-soo-1792497749#_ga=1.36468832.1196905877.1454993437

You should totally bring it to Darlington tomorrow and autocross it!

Can’t. Also, aren’t there noise regulations? This won’t pass. It’s loud. Extremely loud.

The noise limit is 99 dBA from 50 ft away, dunno if your car might exceed that. We are going to have 9-10 V8 Mustangs here as well.

I can’t anyways, but I’ll try to test the noise before I go to one. I spend all day standing in parking lots anyway, so if it exceeds it, oh well. I can go do a mountain run instead.

Sweet! You can even hear the turbo winding down a bit.
