n54 steptonic with exhaust?

C.junior · 06-22-2013, 02:27 PM

just wondering if it would sound stupid when it shifts because its auto like in step mode?

and would it sound like a dtc with an exhaust?

I never drive in "D". People are always surprised when they see its an auto, sounds exactly like a manual as long as you shift it yourself.

I like how the exhaust sounds when I'm in manual mode and use the shifters myself. I'm still debating if I should go bov though since I prolly won't hear it that much

You will, just floor it and let off the throttle and I'd imagine it would shoot off the BOV.

It sounds good even being an auto when it shifts and when you shift under boost it does sound similar to Dct in lower gears at times and in manual it sounds great.. Dct and manual always sound better but for an auto it shifts decently fast and sounds good

It shifts lightning fast lol. And I have a Tial BoV and it is constantly SHHHHing, its pretty sexy. I love it.

Do you hear the blowoff when you hit the paddle to shift with out letting go of the gas or do you have to let off the gas?

No u have to let off throttle to hear it. I hear mine a lot more now with catless downpipes

C.junior · 06-22-2013, 06:49 PM

So when you guys shift with paddles you let off the gas?

kkrikkett · 06-22-2013, 07:13 PM

Nope its to floor with paddles u don't hear blow off until u back off.

I let off between shifts when I'm just cruising around town. Mostly because I'm addicted to the noise and some part of me wishes my car was manual when it was traded in lol
