Okay now I am sure this is a stupid question, but I don't know alot, and I want opinons. Does an exhaust sound good on a Coupe with CVT? Is it worth getting it? Again, I am new at this I am sorry

I see where you're coming from. You're wondering if exhaust would sound good when CVT keeps RPM low at normal driving.

The answer is yes. I have nismo exhaust on my 3.5SE coupe with CVT and during normal drive... its got nice low deep tone at low RPM. Lets say I'm bored and want to hear more ... I throw it in manual mode and lets it rev higher and man... it sound beautiful. and if I floor it... it woulds like ferrari 430. Yes yes i know it sounds no where near nice as ferrari but I hear the similarity.

I have the Tanabe exhaust on the 3.5 and it sounds good ONLY under accecleration load. If you rev in park it has very very little sound. Almost silent at idle and comes to life only when gassed hard. I picked this one because it does not sound ricer at all.
