10 WORST SOUNDING CARS OF TODAY
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This is a list of the nastiest (not in a good way) sounding cars of our time. What sound is good of bad is subjective, but there is a consensus or at least a majority on these picks of terrible sound engines.
Generally speaking V6 engines (unless they are turbocharged) seem to be out of favor. Boxer engines will probably never be remembered as "classic" as opposed to the sound of the Jaguar E=Type.
So here are my picks of the engines that just can't make the music.

Sounds like he has a cold or something because his voice sounds completely different. Hope he’s ok.
I noticed that too, might be all this pollen
he literally says in the video that hes sick
Kind of sounds like most of the cars he listed also. Sick and not in a good way
Gotta straight pipe that larynx
its just corona... don't worry about it
Craig’s own exhaust sounds different too 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is using a Motec system exhaust like Hector.
Resonator delete
Wow was not expecting a Subaru boxer turbo engine to make this list. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who disliked the sound of an Impreza STI 😬
😬
Its a fantastic sounding car IMO.
@@BionicSammich it absolutely is that’s why I’m so baffled as to how it made this list.
I think it's a terrible sounding engine compared to some earlier ones in their history. But then again, I'm not much of a Subaru fan.
The sound of the r34 GTR in 2 Fast 2 Furious was recorded with a WRX lol
You know what would be cool? Craig rating subscribers cars because he has a very good taste in cars
Let's do it!
@@craiglieberman would be cool, maybe send them to you via Instagram? 😁
You should, yes. 🙌🏻
100%!! I would tune tf in
I´m in
What's worse than bad sounding cars?
When auto manufactures create fake engine or exhaust audio that plays through the car speakers. That really grinds my gears.
Wait what? Who does that?
@@thatgvb Toyota GR Yaris
@@thatgvb The new Honda NSX
Fun fact: the VQ series of engines was widely used on a bunch of diferent vehicles, including the Renault Alpine A110-50, the Mitsubishi Dignity and the Renault Espace.
Still sounds like a Wet Fart out of a Pringles can (mostly to do with it being a V6, the crossplane crank and firing order)
Espace ;)
@@djtongi Yep, fixed
They sound fine. A straight 6 is much better but...
@@nicholasagnew2792 VQ HR sounds cool when you don't make it loud.
Please explain to me how the V6 challenger, charger and 300 weren’t in here?😂
You legitimately could’ve grouped all the v6 muscle cars together😂
My opinion, I actually don't mind the sound of a vq if it's DONE RIGHT! No muffler/ resonator deletes, 3in with a muffler on the end sounds good, nice and smooth and deep, muffler/ res delete sounds like the aftermath of taco bell.
Well said. Could you make a list of the 10 best sounding engines? Maybe just exclude stuff that the common people can't buy such as the Carrera GT or the LFA. So maybe best sounding engines for cars that are under $200,000.
Audi 2.7 and vr6 ❤
You're not kidding. Fools in my town drive around in straight piped Civics that sound like shit. Reminds me ball bearings in a washing machine and most of these cars couldn't get out of their own way even if they had to. I find it hilarious that I can silently blow their doors off from a dig while they make a bunch of noise trying to get to 50.
I was never a Honda guy, but in the mid 2000s, I bought a CRX just to see if I could see what the hype was all about. I was severely disappointed, however, the one positive I got from it was being able to claim that I had the best sounding one in town. The only thing I did different was throwing in a resonator rather than going strait piped. Even my exhaust guy was like, finally.. A Honda that doesn't make me wanna weld my ears shut.
You missed those ear raping sounds from the straight piped squatted truck boys!
Exhaust on a gas sports car that rises to the level of assault:
When your diesel truck gets repossessed and you can't blast people out with black smoke. After the gas sports car is repossessed and they are left with 12 year old minivan, they point the rear washer nozzle towards the back , cut people off and spray them with water.
those BMWs should have been wayyyyyy further up the list. should've grouped V6 Camero/Mustang/Challenger to make room for GTi's with all their DSG farts. those things literally sound like vacuum cleaners that have the ability to flatulate, put those at #2 right behind the VQ. Also, honestly, the subaru EJ boxer should have been either #10 or not on the list at all. if its not totally straight piped or had the unequal length headers removed for equal lengths, they sound amazing / unique, smooth and almost soothing. but thats just my ears.
Vape bois and VQ bois aren't gonna be happy 😅
I own a 370z, ive never heard a trumpet sound. Here in Australia, nobody straight pipes or removes mufflers on Z's. If this doesnt change your mind, the Motordyne exhaust makes the VQ sound amazing
Craig said VQs, and I'm sitting here wondering why the venerable Altima wasn't mentioned. If anybody wants to talk tragic Nissans, this one's it. This is the unofficial car of being done with life.
Not usually a fan of v6 mustangs but my buddy had a s197 v6 with around 350 crank hp and a low burbles/pops and bangs tune. Ofc it couldn’t beat the sound of a v8 but it was pretty damn good tbh
VQ’s can sound fantastic if you don’t cheap out on the exhaust setup . I’ve gone full headers and a custom y pipe and it sounds great . I actually really liked the sound as a kid when Infiniti first released the 35 coupe . Sounded mean
Also single exhaust vq engines sound a lot better then some of the duals also having a good resonator and h pipe can help a lot.
As someone whose daily driver is a Subaru WRX with a cat back exhaust, the last point of "only car guys would like that sound" is so very true. I've been a car guy all my life and the sound was one of the reasons why I got the car in the first place. In addition, the exhaust notes, stock or aftermarket, of high-performance cars can really only be truly appreciated by car enthusiasts. My dad's Porsche 930 has an exhaust that's very rumbly when idling. My late grandma, his mother who knew nothing about cars, never liked it because she thought it always sounded like something was wrong with it lol.
True
As a classic motorsports enthusiast all Subarus sound like bootleg Porsche engines that are underwater. What a terrible sound... And worst of them all is the Fa20........
I like certain types of sounds. Excessive rumbling, screaming etc is no go.
I do like a nice harmonic sound.
I'd be just as content with a car sounding like the starship enterprise too.
I have a feeling the VQ is going to be on hear 😭lol. Honestly guys just leave the exhaust alone it's perfect the way it's sounds stock
@Ballinonabudget yeah you have to spend money to get a great tone on the VQ but honestly the stock sound is the best.
Hating on the N because the pops? Cmon it's an amazing car. Pops from the dct cars aren't as obnoxious
it's not hating. It just sounds bad, face it.
@mTwMarco maybe to you. I think it sounds awesome. Screw the old heads who think it does
Normal mode cuts the pops
@@johnnyappleseed9568 right. He had to say it sounds bad. During performance mode. Does this dude bitch about race cars making this noise on a track? Bet he does
@@SolidariusLive Race cars make power / add fuel to keep the turbo up. Street cars with a pop tune are like the A hole smoky diesel trucks that think it makes power and is " cool " to smoke out people on the road.
I would love to hear Craig's opinion on my VQ Z that I owned for 20 years and took forever to dial in the sound with current mods. I'm sure he would have a different opinion on VQs at that point. Also, the reason they are used at takeovers is because the Z is such a good car to drift, but doesn't mean that every Z/vq owner partakes in them.
Bmw straight 6 sounds better
@@FELIPE8226M I've been told different by a lot of people in and around the areas I've drive the car in. :)
Do you have sound clips?
You trippin on the Veloster N take
Facts
Borla Atak ftw
NISSAN VQ engines sound good ..rather in the Infiniti G35 Q50 ,or any nissan Z
I love my VQ sound. I remember that was one of the first things I liked about it. I think it's the clapped up ones w/ muffler deletes that sound bad. I got a full titanium setup and I love it.
what set up do you have?
They sound like a trombone or a depressed bear
I own an 06 roadster, I love its sound stock. I don't wanna go deaf with the roof down.
@@karlosmejia4872 headers + full thaitanium titanium HVR 3". It has 6 resonators, but I plan on removing 2 of them. Sounds good though, I get a lot more compliments than hate. I was surprised that VQ's were hated on for sound, but I guess it's just preferences.
It's kinda like hondas. With the right set up they sound good. But the vast majority with ebay exhausts just sound terrible
Dodges sound terrible
Porsches and theses AMG cars with that funny 4-Banger too.
Honestly the 2.5L VW-Engine in the RS3/TT are not better.
😂 the VQ is the most reliable car on your list no matter what you throw at it.
Another reason they changed the side exhaust on that dodge viper was because if it was running and the driver or passenger got out it would hurt and, in some case, burn their leg. This caused people to call and complain and with what you said about the censors all added up so the switched it to the back.
Absoulutely correct.
Modified honda civics place #1 in my opinion.
VQ equipped cars like the Infiniti G37 (with stock exhaust) are the best sounding V6 on the planet!
C'mon man. My G35 coupe is pure heaven on wheels. The HKS cat-back exhaust purrs like a angel choir. 😋
So cool you owned a Holden Gemini.....was such a popular car in Australia
I dunno but I’ve always loved the sound of the Subaru Boxer turbo
I'd say the Viper V10 ranks up there with my F350 V10. Stock, they sound like an obnoxiously loud Divco milk truck. But, even when improved upon, most V10's sound like trash. I've got Gibson TBC shorty headers, SPD Y-pipe kit and a Gibson side-exit exhaust...better, but still not all that great. Sounds like a Rolls Merlin engine & a Subie Boxer had a love child.
Subaru boxer engines don't sound bad if done right, Same thing with the VQ. I have heard more than a fair share of Mustang and Camaro V6s that sound like 350Z/370Zs. I agree that straight piping is stupid, I'm still blaming you for all of the honda fart pipes running around lol.
I drive a Camery 3.5 L V6 . Of course, it's been Lotusized to 416 HP and sounds wonderful. :-)
Dude what the Veloster N is literally one of my favorite stock exhaust sounds😭
If you want a Mustang, Camaro or Challenger... pls do yourself a favor and get damn V8. Tight budget, WAIT until get the budget, otherwise you will regret
lmfao I knew the VQ was gone be on here . Craig I do have a g35 sedan and yes I'm embarrassed to go out out with it bc of its bad rep. I've always said that young kids with these cars, no respect!
Go Craig!
The stock g35 and 350z sounds great. The problem is everyone yanks it off and puts the biggest loud annoying muffler on it.
Ok, not everything with a VQ sounds bad. My header, cat, exhaust combo sounds good to me, but I'm not about the single trombone exhausts lol.
*Don't GTR's have VQ-engines?*
No absolutely not
Nope, VR38DETT You're grounded for not knowing that.
@@craiglieberman Ah damn, mixed up my VR and VQ.
@@craiglieberman To be fair, they’re both V6’s and sound kinda trumpety.
@@craigliebermanvr38 can sound pretty bad sometimes too
I have 3 VQs and no I won’t sell em ever! (I bought a donor Z with 85k for my daily Z but ended up getting an HR to swap into...)
I got a VQ g35. Won't sell mine either even though I gotta replace the motor🤷♂️ trombone or not those cars are damn fun
I’ve modded my Cruze did acc sound pre good tbh then got hit w a drunk driver a month ago waiting to find out if it’s gonna be fixed but it was a 1.4t
Your taste is all over the place, of course a rally inspired car is gonna have pops, that's for rally enthusiasts. And don't get me started on subarus, they are almost universaly agreed on that they are the best sounding 4 cylinder engines
Hope you're well Craig your voice doesn't sound too good please have a break if needed ❤️
I'm a vq guy I died laughing at the end that was funny 😂
Very interesting, what about the 10 Best sounding cars?
Porsche Carrera GT, Lexus LFA
I don't care what hooligans do with vq engines. They are good engines and fun to drive.
Huh, i don't like burble tunes either but honestly half of the cars on this list sound fine.
Haha the jokes on you both my g35 sedan 6mt and g37 sedan 6mt are both legal and stay in near showroom shape and have tasteful mods that sound good, the vq sounds good when done right and not destroyed with a shitty fart cannon or straight piped
Stock VQ exhaust sound amazing, especially under load between 5000 and 7600 RPM.
You totally forgot the Volkswagen Golf with that diarrhea sound
16:35 that is a Lexus GS, not a VQ powered Nissan, nice try
Yeah… Craig starting to fall off 💀 this list was garbage
Can you make a video on how the fast and the furious cars have influenced car culture today
FF has no influence to the car culture today..
Constantly uploading takeovers is what influences car culture today.
List starts at 7:09
The sound of a subie to me is like the free adult content (very pleasing and soul touching{full pun intended} and just hits a certain spot) but it really does depend on the exhaust you buy for them like my tomie Ti to some it drones and to some its heaven and comes to personal preference but one of the best sounding car would be a jaguar E Type that sound is pure orgasmic but I can afford my subie and daily drive it so that's what is best for me
Craig is the guy in the Ferrari in F&F lol
that Ferrari is more than Craig can afford pal...
If Hyundai Genesis is in here I'm hunting you down
:P ...no seriously...:)
No Sound at all is the worst Sound.
How could you leave out the Ford Raptor??
Not going to lie, as the list went on, I got more and more afraid I would see the Abarth 500 on there 🤣
Don't think they're very popular in the U.S so they probably slipped his mind. If he doesn't like pops and bangs he definitely wouldn't like the 500 lol
@@HendrickT-bi4iw I don’t think they pop and bang so much. At least mine rarely does and it’s stock from the factory. Lol
@@LanceCorporal_Waffles I actually live in northern Italy where they're extremely popular. I like them. But a lot of young guys map them here to make those sounds. And I could be wrong but I think some limited edition models come tuned that way.
@@HendrickT-bi4iw The only time I love bang and pops is when they are coming from actual Rally Cars or race cars. Now we have idiots in Audi’s and BMW’s flying down the streets of Southern California, flooring the accelerator and then letting off just so he can sound like a flurry of shot guns.
I owned a G35 coupe in the late 2000s before these zoomer hot bois got a hold of them and turned them into the model of criminal behavior on the street. It was a really fun car to cruise in, relatively quick, and I actually loved the stock exhaust note. Funny enough, I sold the car to a guy who looked like he'd do intersection takeovers, which is likely what the car has been used for for the past decade.
I have a full Magnaflow exhaust setup with an X-pipe after the mid muffler in my V6 car and its perfect for daily driving. Really deep down low, European sounding up high, or maybe even stock VQ up high. I never was somebody who wanted my V6 to sound like a V8 but whenever I get maintenance work done the techs always think it's a stock V8 when they start it up
will you ever make a positive video ?
All BMW M3 after the E90 gen, along with the M4 are the worst sounding engines of all time, maybe in any vehicle of all time, road, sea, rail or air. It sounds like somebody farting into a 5 gallon (19 liter) bucket. As much as I hate the lack of sound in electric cars, I'd prefer that over the sound of these modern BMW M3 and M4s
Idk Lieberman... I've owned my 02 maxima 6 speed for almost 10 yrs now. I dont think I will be getting rid of my reliable VQ anytime soon. Btw it has a great sounding exhaust and it is not straight piped 😁
G37 owners built different
Exhaust, a sound the EPA and Karne's dont want to hear (sound pollution) Thats why a 911 with a manual is worse for 0-60 etc etc than an auto, because to meet California drive by sound regulations, the gearing on a 911 Manual is taller, that's why you can do 112+mph in 3rd gear... that is if its not the EU version with filters to muffle the noise on top of what they do already. BUT being the neutered it so much to meet regs, they then pump a sound file through your stereo to mimic the sound or "cancel out" the drone. Besides most people can't afford the $1500 Corsa or $4000-$12000 systems that are designed for that car. They'd rather pay John at the Muffler & stuff $50 to chop the muffler off.
Here it is:
Modern cars sound bad!
Obnoxious, artificial Pop & Bangs tunes on all those sports cars!
Certain cars even have it from factory…
As someone who just bought a nice, well kept, manual G35-s that the previous owner deleted the mufflers on, I'm going to do the unthinkable: find a stock exhaust and put it back on, or find a decent sounding axleback that is quieter but still audible.
I love loud cars but holy shit this thing is like, TOO loud. Even for me. I've had it less than a week and I could tell my neighbors hated me by the second time I started it up🤣
I've had 3 VQ's and they are the best sounding cars on the street with stock exhaust.
Respect to you!
Like the Corsa Sports on my V. Sound great, no drone. There are lots of well respected tuners who say that there is no such thing as too much flow... The faster and more your engine gets the exhaust out, the faster and more the next cycle can draw in.
When talking about the porsche boxster , you said you where talking about the 6 cilinders , not the measily 4 cilinders.
But the videos and clips you showed were all 4 cilinder boxsters ? The 6 cilinder flat six in the boxster is ond of thè best sounding engines!
Love your work!
People try to race me in my Datsun 510 because its louder than modern cars and has a GM synergy green metallic paint job. What do they expect! I've got 100hp! What am I supposed to do, materialize a racetrack out of sheer will? We're on the highway!
My poor little VQ heart. 💔 Jk. The car sounds god awful straight piped, but I still love my 370. It's such a fun car to drive around in and enjoy. Keep up the fun videos!
Pretty sure no one is making fun of craigs cars...
The supra and r34 from fnf were garbage lol.😂
Those cars were dope.
Before I was born, my dad was a merchant seaman based out of San Francisco. He had a ‘68 Firebird. And a friend of a friend was a former factory mechanic for the Pontiac trans am race team. So thankfully, he had zero trial and error. He knew what all the hot tickets were.
I can see you getting hate for this list despite it just being opinion.
We're getting old sir. I remember thinking My girlfriends 99 Civic Si
with cat back and no resonator sounding great. Looking back, being on the highway for more than 15min was torture.
Last generations of subaru boxer engine (turbo) had equal length headers that make it sounds like inline 4 engines.
Certain rasp I really like, my setup on my miata sounds great to me. The rasp reminds me of 60's sports cars. But I agree most raspyness doesnt sound good.
hey i love the way the vq sounds. But not with certain exhausts and especially straight piped or burble tuned, then its horrible
The VQ sound has nothing to do with the bad behavior. I agree with Craig, a lot of younger newbs have given the Z and G’s a bad name because they’re immature and that’s all they can afford now because the values have come down so much on those cars, but I love the sound of the VQ, especially from the 350z and G35
yea but then straight pipes gotta go!
It does actually. The ones running streaming pipes are always the same ones acting like idiots in them
@@karlosmejia4872 agreed
DCA fan and car fan, here i am
Worst sounding is preference. There are people out there that will say a 4 cylinder sounds better than a v8 an it's just not possible. I completely disagree with the VQ though.
Everything on this list I can understand or agree with other than the Subaru boxer. The engine sounds good with unequal length or equal length headers imo
My neighbor has a v6 mustang with a terrible exhaust, it's sad. I don't know what sounds worse that or the other neighbor with the farting GTI. 🤦♂
A vehicle missing a baffle out of its exhaust sound like a fart cannon or even the Cadillac Converter......
Can’t forget cars have to meet regulations. Catalytic converters and mufflers do restrict power. So 9/10 times a aftermarket system will make more power
Nothing wrong with VQs 🥴
I’ll never straight pipe my Honda I know how horrid that sound it and I won’t do it I’ll just get me a real performance exhaust.
I always liked the Subaru boxer motors. I had a Baja turbo and I daily’d the fk outta it! 2 hr+ round trip commute
Sounds like this dude doesn't like the owners of the cars on that list more than the sounds the cars make. Not everybody likes boomermobiles, grandpa.
The purple eclipse from 2fast 2furious.
Shit was ugly souned ugly. Probably the worst car in the franchise.
My new neighbor has a straight piped 370z and it is sooo freaking loud and awful sounding
Everyone has an opinion, but as a owner of a Elantra N I love the pops and bangs. And that's coming from a hard-core mopar guy.
I am new to your channel and love your content, but why did you have to put Subaru on this list. Those cars sound amazing
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand the snap crackle and pop. It’s always sounded like shit to me.
Wow the Hyundai Veloster basically sounds like if someone shit their pants trying to fart
Rocking That VGK! I like to see my home town jerseys out on humans not from Vegas! 702 Baby!
As a 370Z owner they can sound terrible but they still sound better than the 350Z and can actually sound pretty good with the right exhaust
Great video. Love the piss and vinegar commentary! I agree with you on this video. Popcorn tunes suck!!
