130707, Crower 2 Comparison
Posted by Babbz413, May-26-10 08:03 AM
Thanks to 740turbobrick's as well as others vids on the internet, I have an idea of what crower 2 n/a cams sound like. Do the crower 2 turbo grinds sound similar? I can't find any videos or anything. Thanks.

Due to the reduced overlap in the turbo grinds, I suspect they would sound a bit less bubbly. All the same, does it really matter what the cams sound like? :wallbash

The sound doesn't matter, I was just curious if they were as aggressive.

Yes, like DR1665 said they're smoother because of the reduced overlap, but still change the sound to a more aggressive note.

There are so many other factors affecting what the exhaust sounds like other than the cam profile. The sound is the last reason you make a decision on camshaft shopping.

Yes. I've clearly already made my decision as the cams are in my garage. I was just curious.

I like the power "boost" from the cams, but the sound was like 1/4 of the reason I did it. And it was worth it, I love the way it sounds.

Install a second motor in the hatch and make it awd. At least you'd have 8 cylinders... :shrug
