Default Do I sound raspy?

I was comming home and ran into a guy with a dodge neon, drove buy him for like a block. We stopped at a light and he rolled his window down and said my car sounds sucky with all the rasp it makes. I was like WTH!

So i got onto the freeway and made this lil soundclip, only place i could steady the cam was between the wheel to get a good all around sound lol.

Oh and only performance mods I have are TRD exhaust and CAI.

Depends on what you ate for lunch.

Car sounds fine. Driver needs to learn how to shift though.

LOL^

That was HILARIOUS
and completely true..
I hear so many complaints from friends that have that car..
In the beginning they talk trash but after having it for a while they realize its a crappy car in a lot of ways...
I personally hate the interior...
but your car has no rasp from what I hear..
Could be a little bit more open though...car sounds like it needs some more beef to it

If you have a TRD exhaust, it's probably not raspy but if it is, you will not hear it in the car. Exhaust tones never sound the same inside as they do outside. Get a friend on the side of an empty stretch of road and have him or her listen as you drive by.

The guy in the Neon was probably just jealous or the rasp of his car was echoing off your car. I hear all sorts of wierd noises from my car when I go over bridges or near buildings where the sound echoes.
