Better Sound : 7M, 1J, or 2J?

[googooflexy]

I've seen vids of all three in mk3's but haven't been able to decide which engine sounds better with aftermarket exhaust installed.
I know sound doesn't matter as much as power, but every little thing counts when I'm tryin to figure out what to drop into my next project.

I figured I'd get people's opinions on this...but if you post a reply with an opinion, try to post proof. Like a link to a vid or something.

thats like asking what paint color is better.. its personal preference..

IMO nothing sounds better then a big cammed 2jz w/ 4" exhaust

Thanks!

yeah, I know it's mostly preference. This is why proof in form of a vid would be helpful. I'm also interested in people's opinions cuz many folks here have personal experience that I don't quite have yet.

I seriously hope you're not considering an engine swap based on how it sounds :3d_frown:

I prefer the low down rumble of the old boat anchor (7M)

no no no no...lol

it's just part of it. i was already considering the 7mg but i want to know what people think of the other options. and sound is part of my decision, just not all of it.

I do too, that's my preference.

I prefer the sound of a 2J I heard with a 3.75" exhaust and stock twins from last Fall's Louisville Supra meet over any I've heard thusfar, Even my full 3" catless exhaust with the RSR GTII.

1JZ with a CarbonTi <3

7m, tubular manifold, open WG, 4" exhaust straight pipe.

 

[Mischief7m]

i dont know about all you other 7m guys, but when i had my 7m with 3" strait pipe, it sounded like a tractor...i vote jz

7M, but I'm biased. 2JZ can be described in one word: exotic.

I dont know that 7M really sounds "better" than the 2J, but I prefer it. 1J sounds baller too, but I love me my 7M, loud turbo spool down,spool up, external WG dumping, and type S. I didnt choose the type S, but I'm a sucker for its sound.

1jzgte in my opinion especially one with a worked head. they sound like liter bikes.
