Is it normal for a modded engine to be louder than a stocker? Not speaking about exhaust system loud but the engine itself. I have a 4 inch MBRP system and it's fairly quiet there. I don't like getting on the bad side of neighbors when I leave for work at 4 AM. see my profile for mods

 

anybody?

 

You might just think its louder - they don't really get any louder - plus the tone from the exhaust can come into play and you might think its from the engine bay.

 

Timing can change the sound. I haven't really noticed any difference in the noise from my trucks.

 

Dynamat or sound deadener?

 

well it's my first experience with the 12 v motor. got it already tweaked. it just seems SO loud next to a barrier and cannot go to drive-thru without having to shut down so we can hear each other..just wondering if this is the norm as i dunno if there's anything i can do about it. ant advice or help is much appreciated

LOL, my stock 215 Hp 97 is that loud.......... it's a 12V badge of honor.......

 

I had a 2000 that was psycho loud. When backing our camper and dump trailers into the driveway, it would rattle the neighbours plates in their houses. Driver through restaurants were a no no and don't even try to hold a conversation on the highway.

 

24v's are stupid loud, lol!
