Pops and Bangs back on the 2023 MT cars?

[White Shadow]

This sounds a lot like the 2020 cars to me. Did Toyota make it a point to at least give the manual transmission cars a more aggressive exhaust sound?

Hard to say with it being in an obnoxiously confined echoing space lol

The 2021+ cars sound like this. If you search some sound clips of the 2021+ cars it has the crackles if you rev the shit out of it in Sport mode. But it's nowhere near as obnoxious as the 2020 cars.

It's not the best environment within which to judge the exhaust sound as compared to previous MKV Supras but it does sound good.

Though I won't be surprised if the production (not pre-production demo event cars) 6MT Supras get a slightly more quiet exhaust than their automatic siblings for exactly the same reasons the new Nissan Z 6MT models did: automatic vehicles are sound tested to noise regulation certification very differently than manual vehicles are such that the automatic version of the same vehicle has an easier time by effectively gaming the test.

But I do *hope* Toyota can keep the MKV 6MT's exhaust just as lively as before.

That poor car - getting cold revved by every YouTube Automotive "Journalist".

I think my 2020 pops and bangs more in my garage..

That'll be awesome if so, considering recent reviews for the new Nissan Z note that the MT version has noticeably quieter exhaust due to some CA regulation.

That's normal. It's mostly just condensation getting blown out of the exhaust. Water is also a byproduct of combustion.

Very possible, just hard to tell in a video that distorts the sound and such a confined open space. Unless you do it with everything closed up as well.

Revving in neutral isn't the true exhaust note imo, a cars exhaust note is how it sounds under load. Our cars pop and bang by lifting the throttle at 12mph, but its hard to get it to pop and bang revving it, clearly there is a difference in fuel / boost. I'd like to see a side by side of in person driving, but this exhaust sounds exactly the same as my 21

AFAIK (Maybe CA specific) the test is simply how the car sounds at 55mph "cruising" which is how cars like ours (and probably mercedes and porsche) can have peaky exhaust but pass the test
