Doing a one-gear redline pull when you enter a tunnel.

I do it almost every day on my way home from school and hearing that straight six sing never gets old. Bonus that I can do it without breaking the speed limit thanks to how the car is geared.

Picture kinda related, I guess, Euro cluster though. Dat 7k redline.

Every time I go under a bridge and there’s nobody in front of me... big block V8 ROAR! No wonder I get such horrible gas milage.

Ever since I knocked my exhaust flap out (it was frozen shut), I have a lovely burble at idle and just off-idle. Is very nice.

I plan to put exhaust cutouts on. Then this will be me, but with a small block. Better save up some gas monies...

My car sounds pretty mundane until you really get on it. I wish at had just a little bit more noise at idle.

My E34’s 3.0 V8 revs to 6k, which sounds sweet.

Redline pulls in high-revving cars are the best. Once upon a time in the holland tunnel, the sound of an S54 rasping into the non-muffler that is the diablo (from the previous owner) moved New Jersey a little more towards California.

Of course, every kid in a coffee-can-mufflered civic feels the same way. This is the joy of cars.

I do this on the bike. 14K with a rev limiter ping once or twice. Just lovely.

Is the theoretical tunnel near an airport?

I’m having a crisis just thinking about that.

it sounded like the tunnel at monaco in the old days....open exhaust, and high revs.

When I used to work every day at a fancy office far away from my house, I used to go out of my way every morning just to bomb a tunnel. Some people drink coffee, I used to do that instead.

I feel it, with my 8k redline pulls. People hear and people face palm.

I still need to do make some noise in that tunnel. Always too much traffic to hit it during my commute.

Depending on traffic, I get to pass through a 1/4 mile tunnel on the way home. The S62 has a pretty meaty roar even with a stock exhaust.

Lovely on the E30 although I rarely go through any tunnels. When I had the S2000 I’d go out of my way to drive through some long tunnels in the city - top down, 9k redline, mile of tunnel...its a surreal feeling!

Burbly I5 roar isn’t shabby but it ain’t no Bimmer...it does have a higher power and torque band though, kind of like a Volvo version of VTEC so you have to kind of rev it for power which generates noise, most of it good...
