Exhaust and intake should help to accomplish that, especially when it comes to exhaust. |

You can probably mod it to sound louder in the car. Just not quite sure how. I actually wouldn't mind seeing the NSX with undercarriage lights. Just don't want them on the interior of the car. |

| nexus | then i want to do away with the sound deadening between the engine and my head... mid engines are supposed to sound like the motor is in your lap... |

I personally have no desire or need for hearing a lot of engine or exhaust noise when driving like some do... And am not fond of "piped in" acoustic adders ? That said I do appreciate what the engine and exhaust sounds like from OUTSIDE the car?. We all must realize that NO car will do all things desired for all drivers, so must accept some "by design" or engineering compromises. And for those considering adding bling lights (yuk) , I can only assume/hope that is for when parked for showing as there would probably a lot of annoying reflection issues off rear window as seen in rear view mirror when driving. That's something i'd expect from the Civic crowd not NSX owners. |

| FastAndFurious | From the few reviews published, interior sound isn't something you have to worry about as the NSX is supposed to sound a lot louder outside than inside. Someone at some point will install some interior LED lights to illuminate the engine at night but I assume that there's a way to turn them off while you're driving. Sounds dangerous to have them on at night and mess with your rear view. |

| 1fastAcura | If some brand that makes forced induction systems decides to get involved then we could see something coming from them, but so far there has been no sign of that. |

You'd think they would have done so by now as the few NSX buyers are most likely car enthusiasts who wants to see what they're buying. Can't really make out much besides the engine cover in the middle. |

We've seen the engine by itself but it's lacking in everything else like wiring. |
