The other day my friend asked me why my 7M doesn't sound like a 2JZ. They are both 3.0L I6 engines. I didn't have an answer for him. Can anyone help me out?

The 7M has a longer stroke compared to the 2JZ :) I like the sound of the 7M better actually...

Really? I like the smoothness of the JZ engines. I wish my engine sounded like a JZ.

Then sell the MK3 back to Pras and buy a MK4...

What? I love my car. Someday I probably will get a MK4 if I can afford it. But I certainly can't afford one now.

Head design is going to make a fairly large difference, too.

I think most of you guys referring to the "2JZ" sound are talking about the higher pitched raspiness you generally hear from them.

Guess what? Build a 7M, go nuts on the valvetrain, get a tubular manifold and a big single and you'd be shocked how similar it'll likely sound. ;)

Sounds stock:sarcasm:
You must be on the stock DP or have a cat or somthing to that effect..
Does sound healthy though.

7M Grunt > 2JZ purr

All it is is a cat-back. How can you tell it's stock?

ive been told my hyper medallion is to quite. Buddy complains he hears the turbo spool even when im walking him on the highway over the exhaust (evo guys :crazy1:) 7m sounds like more grunt however a 2jz reving is pretty damn sexy. So freaking smooth...

personally a boxer motor sounds fucking sweet in my book... or a cammed 427 corvette (lingenfelter shop is across the alley at work ;)) OR a turbo f40 (RUF dealership is next street over with some SICKKK European cars...) Porsche sounds good but when they pull out the Ferrari's, its time to put a rubber on to keep your pants clean..
