Hi,

I've been getting around in my "stock" 2001 s2k for two weeks now. The main thing I've noticed is the exhaust noise. When you get stuck into it its louder than any 5.0 I've been around and there is also a lot of "off throttle" exhaust noise as well.

As far as I can tell the exhaust is stock. Maybe a previous owner has knocked the baffels out of it.

How loud are s2k's meant to be when stock?

 

Compared to what? A fighter jet?

Just get one. You know you want it. Why else woudl you post a question like that in here? S2K are good for the sole. God knows im trying to get one myslef.

 

I think he already has one.

Anyways.. the stock s2k exhaust is really quiet for a sports car. Your exhaust has got to be modified if it sounds louder than your 5.0.

 

with a cai intake there alright loud. you can notice one with an intake. or pulled off top off an airbox. as for stock i really cant remember.

actually all yud be hearing is the motor. i tried running open cat. now thats loud imo. it sounds like its screams to 9k.

 

if the stock exhaust is modified, it will sound very raspy, not boomy or drone-like
