10 WORST SOUNDING CARS OF TODAY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 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.

Craig’s own exhaust sounds different too 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is using a Motec system exhaust like Hector.
Resonator delete
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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 ❤
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.
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 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
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
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.
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.
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.
Vape bois and VQ bois aren't gonna be happy 😅
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.
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.
So cool you owned a Holden Gemini.....was such a popular car in Australia
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😂
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.
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.
C'mon man. My G35 coupe is pure heaven on wheels. The HKS cat-back exhaust purrs like a angel choir. 😋
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?
I dunno but I’ve always loved the sound of the Subaru Boxer turbo
Dude what the Veloster N is literally one of my favorite stock exhaust sounds😭
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!
I Spit my beer out when you referenced the Martians from Sesame Street “nope nope nope nope “…
You’re such a GenX’ah just like me you nailed every single one of these from 1 to 10.
and yes, my son that is now almost 30 now had a Subaru WRX back in day that he modified. I really did like that little bugger.
Great Vid!
😂 the VQ is the most reliable car on your list no matter what you throw at it.
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.
I drive a Camery 3.5 L V6 . Of course, it's been Lotusized to 416 HP and sounds wonderful. :-)
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
hey Craig you got a new microphone? sounds good!
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!
Hey Craig what do you think of the John cooper works mini cooper with pro exhaust? Too many pops? I would love to know your thoughts
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.
List starts at 7:09
Very interesting, what about the 10 Best sounding cars?
Porsche Carrera GT, Lexus LFA
The stock g35 and 350z sounds great. The problem is everyone yanks it off and puts the biggest loud annoying muffler on it.
Question for you Mr. Lieberman: What is the most expensive repair that you have personally had to do or pay for on any car that you have owned? Maybe you can do a video on it
@Craig Lieberman, Is the VQ Motor (G35/350z/370z) sound from DK's Nissan 350z from the fast and the furious tokyo drift?
The Hero car had a twin turbo setup so the sound file was mixed other cars and industrial sounds.
@@craiglieberman oh ok just asking :)
I just love when Craig is roasting awful car tuners, you just know that he would say much worse things about them but he has to be nice in his videos :D
Last generations of subaru boxer engine (turbo) had equal length headers that make it sounds like inline 4 engines.
I've got a supercharged 3.8 V6 in my Bonneville ssei. Zzp catted down pipe, stock resonator, no mufflers, pipes out the rear. Not obnoxiously loud at idle, and at wide open throttle you can't here it over the supercharger whine. It sounds pretty nice.
Just no.
I object to #2 being the V6 Mustang, I had the exact model with a 2017. I did BBK Shorty Headers and Roush axelback exhaust along with a Roush CAI and I was getting compliments about how good the car sounded. It all depends on what you do to the car exhaust
Just no.
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
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.
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.
You were speaking of the VQ engine. DK's Nissan 350Z in Tokyo Drift comes to mind LOL!
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.
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.
Only 9 tickets in their lifetime? Well I guess i'm glad I got them all out of the way when I was a teenager.
I have had 9 in one year before.haha.amd got them all dismissed with defensive driving.
Wow the Hyundai Veloster basically sounds like if someone shit their pants trying to fart
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
*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
..hopping up an Isuzu. Wow! That is rarefied air, Craig! Optimism, exemplar!
..straight pipes. Well..they can & do work. I had a '93 RAM 150 pickup, 5.9L mag. Plopped a 3" cat back straigh pipe on..much more pwr, especially off the line. It was 15 yrs old when i got it. 140k mi. I got the idea from the test drive..the mufler popped off when i romped on it..i drove it back, salesman sez, "You broke it!..aha pull 'er in the garage, i'll wire up the muff so you can finish your test drive". Cool older gentleman. He wired it up, but not connected..it ran much better. The muff & pipe dia. post cat, were too small for a 360ci mill. Cat fwd was stock OEM. & the sound? Sublime.
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!
I can agree with you with the whole pops and bang stuff and rasp I'm not going to lie and act like I didn't have a pops and bang tune for a while but it got old and went back to not having one. Also I can't stand rasp so my deam exhaust is not to loud and no rasp at all, most exhaust will sound decent with no rasp that way you can at least hear the actual exhaust not , not the pipe rattling. Some exhaust notes are more prone to rasp then others. 😊
I was expecting him to go harder on the Hondas, I was starting to sweat and stretch my collar hahahaha.
Off topic question. Mr. Craig Lieberman, why in first movie Fast and furious VW jetta havent front brake caliper? This is visible in the scene with S2000 race.
Craig will not answer...
He is too busy looking for anyone with an aftermarket VQ exhaust.
The hero 1 Jetta had front disc brakes, the stunt cars had fake bigger discs in the front.
Hope you're well Craig your voice doesn't sound too good please have a break if needed ❤️
Well I took one to my Mustang to a performance shop and I told them to put. A BBK throttle body. And the mechanic told me that there was no point on putting that you were only gonna gain 10 horsepowers more.
Craig is the guy in the Ferrari in F&F lol
that Ferrari is more than Craig can afford pal...
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.
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.
Well since you don't like Subaru's boxer rumble, what do you think about the ones with equal length headers?
Probably thinks it’s still shit 😂
Just sounds like a 4 cylinder nothing really special
There’s nothing like that boxer rumble. Catless turbo-back is where it’s at!
Every car with that burble map sounds like me on the toilet after a night of taco bell or Chipotle.
You totally forgot the Volkswagen Golf with that diarrhea sound
Voice sounds like a radio announcer in the 50s, what a crazy sick voice
Love how you destroy everyone that's got a different opinion haha fun video indeed
An addition to your #2 Craig, Mustangs with the Eco Boost I-4.
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!
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'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.
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 😁
I'm a vq guy I died laughing at the end that was funny 😂
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.
I owned a Viper and WRX at the same time for a couple of years. The man’s not wrong
7 years with my E92 M3. I will never sell it. Ever. I have other cars that are newer to daily but I will always preserve my ability to fire up the V8 in that M3. Came to see if 2015+ M3 and Subaru Boxer made the list - was not disappointed. bonus points for Gen 1 Viper. I have a friend who had one briefly and it sounded pretty trashy.
Cars that make sounds from ICE will soon be a memory
Craig ain't lying. That burple sound is getting overdone now and it's still growing.
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
As a honda owner. I hate straight piped hondas. I run a "decent" sounding exhaust
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!
You trippin on the Veloster N take
Facts
Borla Atak ftw
Craig! Could you make Top 10 Best sounding cars today
Stock VQ would be rated #1 but Craig only takes phuk bois into consideration.
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
Graig voice went from HKS to ebay
Your laughing kills me 😂😂😂
hey i love the way the vq sounds. But not with certain exhausts and especially straight piped or burble tuned, then its horrible
none of the cars in the thumbnail have bad sounding engines, they are all just cars that teenagers often buy and make sound terrible
Was expecting the VW EA888 to be on this lol
the 350z only sounds very great when it's well tuned with twin turbos and a nice custom exhaust shit be sounds good but when you just straight piping stock yea that shit is a real headache 😂😂😂
Craig voice pulled up with a 4” pro speed from autozone.
NISSAN VQ engines sound good ..rather in the Infiniti G35 Q50 ,or any nissan Z
Best sounding exhaust sbc with lightweight internals with a proper cam not some radical garbage but for power. Full length hooker headers 2.5” pipe back to dual flowmaster 40 series or similar mufflers with turn downs after rear axle angled slightly to outside of car.
Flow masters are garbage
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
I liked that little initial d reference
