How does a turbo nsx sound?

[powerslave7]

It's a subjective question and I've listened to a lot of the videos online- They all sound ok to be honest

I'm planning a custom twin turbo installation and it's one of the few things I wanted to clarify, was the sound
! My tuner says it sounds great- he has a high hp build with the sos kit

The na car sounds SO GOOD with the headers exhaust and intake, do the turbos add or detract from that?
A tt 911 or gtr doesn't impress me aurally in the least which is kind of what is driving the question!

As I said I know it's all subjective but any and all input would be most appreciated!

From what i've seen/heard Turbo NSX sound superb, i actually have one as my ringtone on my phone. I currently have a ctsc setup, and would love to go turbo just for the sound.

Depending on the setup it really depends, kind of like exhausts.

Some have deeper exhaust notes due to I think larger mufflers, while some with smaller and larger turbo's you can really hear the air being sucked in and almost "whining/whirling" around in the turbine housing.

Mine has been quoted to sound slightly like a gtr with a deeper tone. Changing my setup now so we'll see what it entails next!

Sound is a consideration....but realistically, what do I care? 675rwhp with gas coating $2.19/gallon Holmes. Last thing I think about is my exhaust.

They sound epic!!

Loved the sound of mine with STMPO Messiah and decat.

Now boosted, would never go back.

I went CTSC partially because I loved the current sound of my "custom Borla" exhaust (and did not want to change it). That exhaust coupled with the CTSC whine...I'm VERY happy.

Turbo anything never sounds as good as high compression all engine or Supercharged.

Reason is that the turbos act as a muffler.

I think a turbo nsx sounds like someone walking down the street whistling, while pausing to sneeze four times.:biggrin:

I think they sound awesome:
