    Is it just me or do Tour and Track sound the same?

    • @boywonderrr71
      @boywonderrr71 7 месяцев назад +2

      Valves are throttle position actuated. So digs and wot will open up valves making the tour & track sound the same. If cruising valves closed same with slow takenoffs

      Cleaner, more powerfull and full bodied tone compared to stock. We get rid of the kazoo effect and really unleash the flat-plane harmonies with the X-pipe. Stock isnt bad, this is just a whole 'nother level--and designed to play well with spicier components upstream as well.

    • @Howdy762

      thats what i noticed. that kazoo sound is a perfect description and it sounds bad. i didnt hear that at least in these clips, so very impressive. i like it! my only critique is the silver look where the outboard boxes are. (sry forgot what yall called em')@@awetuning

      Valves open upon meeting a threshold of load. When the valves are closed and left closed (heard in a slow pass @4:24) it's quite tame. Flat plane motors like to scream :)

      Hi, Rich. When the valves are closed, road noise is the most prominent at highway speeds. Cabin activity is very civilized and well-mannered. Listen @4:16

    People fetishize these exotic exhaust sounds way too much. The classic American Crossplane sounds so much better. You don't just hear it - you feel it. Bravo to Chevy for capturing the exotic note, but it's simply inferior to the C7 Z06 IMO.
