Infiniti Q50 red sport - how to make the pipe less noisy?
Okay, this is the moment a ricer finally realized that he is not young any more.
Took delivery of a 2021 Q50 red sport. Everything is good except for the ridiculously loud exhaust sound. It is so freaking loud, I can feel the vibration come from under the seat. I use normal mode, not sport. Eco mode is even worse, because the pro-longed acceleration, it keeps being loud. And I mean in-cabin all window closed, I don't know how loud it is outside; maybe not much.
Already tried the secret menu & turned off fake exhaust. Omg this thing don't need any pumped in audio. Any time I lightly touch the gas peddle, it hums like a nuthead modded BRZ.
I start to have headache after a short IKEA run involving some highway. Compare to my old non-redsport Q50, I like the quietness of the old car a lot. And I am driving slower than most cars on the road. Corollas & CRVs pass me all day long.
Is there an easy way to make the exhaust less noisy? Too much trouble to replace the whole exhaust. I am considering to wear bose QC25 when driving.
