GT5 Engine modifications sounds.

[CCXRacer]

So I recently won a Ferrari F40, and since I knew it sounded wonderful in real life I decided to take it for a spin without any Mods (besides tires, susp, and drive-train parts.) To my surprise it sounded wonderful, almost spot-on. Engine sounded 'healthy' and you could hear a slight whine of the turbo.

Well I decided to take it back out after some with some mods, I noticed no difference in actual engine tone with Engine stage 3 or Catalytic converter and headers. But when I installed titanium race exhaust it made it sound, way less throaty and much more high pitch, which is understandable. But their sound seems to be the same with all Ferraris with a race exhaust. (Scuderia, 599 etc. all sound nearly identical.) And quite frankly I don't like the sound.

Another thing is on, what I think, every vehicle if you install a race transmission It creates an over bearing whine.👎 My question is; are these race modifications true to life with their sound? Anyone have any 1st hand experience with modifying a car, and do these mods really create these sound changes when installed?

I think that in real life, a racing exhaust would make the cars sound a bit ricey, like in GT5.

I agree completely, the exhaust upgrades (especially the titanium one) just kill the sound. Can't tell you why though.

titanium weighs less irl, it doesn't make cars sound nicer, it just weighs less and makes cars louder

I am aware, I was just wondering if Ferraris with race exhaust sound "ricey" (as another user said) in the real life. I know they aren't made for sound but performance. I race motorcycles, and when I put a titanium race exhaust (FMF) on my bike it sure didn't make it sound higher pitch like that.

Also, straight cut racing trannies do whine just like in the game. Do a search for Hans Stuck on the 'Ring in an M3 GTR racecar and it'll be evident. GREAT video btw.

I do think it's too loud though. It drowns out the exhaust note on my Viper ACR which I love. Possibly true to life though...

If anything, the gear whine in any racing game isn't loud enough.

I can agree; there are a very select few cars that sound amazing with exhaust upgrades. Like the Maserati Gran Turismo with Titanium Exhaust.... it = sex for the ears. However, I was damn angry when I upgraded the exhaust on my Challenger and it sounded like a V6 with a ricer exhaust. Most of the cars in this game have that effect when you upgrade the exhaust; it is terrible. I would rather just have the stock engine sound; which is why I don't upgrade the exhaust itself on most of my cars. Good thing headers/cats don't change the sound in this game.

OMFG!!! That's gotta be the loudest gear whine from a racing box I've EVER heard. That'd drive me nuts...

I hope the microphone is mounted actually ON the gearbox in that video...

Needs some WD40 or something

The BMW in the video has straight-cut gears. Unbelievably loud!

 

[CCXRacer]

Looks like I need to watch the video, right now! haha

Edit: HOLY SMOKES that would drive me nuts.
