Since I drive an R coupe, I’m very familiar with it’s exhaust loudness and tone. BTW, I love it. For those who are familiar with both the R and the SVR, how would you describe the difference in sound of the two? I’ve read where the SVR titanium is louder, but is it also raspier or tinnier? I like loud, but I don’t care for loud and raspy/tinny.
thanks for your comments.

Yep. R sounds deeper and darker. SVR sounds thinner. Every reviewer who mentioned the exhaust have said the SVR is louder.

 

Would agree. It has a very distinct sound. Having spent a long weekend with over a dozen f types with (1) SVR in the bunch, I could tell it was the SVR from two blocks away. Personally prefer the sound of the R but that can be subjective.

 

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I guess it stands to reason that the lighter titanium would not resonate as warmly as the heavier R type exhaust. I too prefer a warmer, deeper exhaust note. Perhaps a VAP exhaust would warm things up? I'm asking because I'm nearing lease end and my residual buy out was set high, so I hesitate at being underwater with a buyout loan. I may have a great line on a newer SVR, so I'm starting to do a bit of homework on all this. If I have to jump ship on an F-Type (i hope not), the 2019 Audi RS5 coupe looks interesting.
