true. this car in stealth mode is a tad bit louder than my dads stock 2000 Trans Am. Its pretty close though. Nice to be able to switch. If i ever put headers on this car im sure i would appreciate the ability to quiet it down some
just about. Most mercedes with valved exhausts are similar to this with valves closed. Some M177 mercedes are pretty decent with valves open, but not nearly as dramatic as this LT1 is
@@CaptainThirdGen Im not sure how much differeance there is between EU cars and US, but in Germany, most cars since 2018 have a petrol particulate filter, which completely dampens the sound of the engines. Removing it is illegal.
@@alperen194 GPF's are not common in the US yet. Some cars have them but not many. We are working on rolling them out for 2027 for a lot of cars of various brands here in the US. I work in the emissions/OBD sector.
@@CaptainThirdGen It's such a stupid thing... That's why I'm looking for a Camaro or Charger with a 6.2 V8. Most of the muscle cars from dodge and chevrolet are directly imported and do not need any crazy modifications to be road legal here. They are a lot cheaper compared to similar spec BMW or Mercedes models. But the only downside is that the emission taxes are extremely high on US cars, and since fuel is very expensive here, it's also not cheap to drive around with an engine that has like twice the amount of fuel consumption, compared to an car like the BMW M4 haha.
@@alperen194 understandable. My Camaro does about 27-28mpg on the highway. About 20mpg in the city. Which for a US car is pretty good. My truck gets about 11mpg, so the LT1 feels pretty efficient in comparison
It's amazing cars can sound that good from the factory. I remember switching to SLP loudmouth and Borla on my fourth gens to get that sound.
yep. I definitely dont regret checking the dual mode exhaust box on my order form lol
Stealth mode is probably louder than most of the sports cars from the early 2000s.

even stealth mode is louder then any modern german sports car with open valves
