Maybe an eq as well. Adjust to taste.

Some days I wanna be obnoxious, other days I don't. Best of both worlds.

I'm done with having cars that are loud all the time.

Corvette guys run these already. Expensive, but it would be nice.

Have to fight GM for the patent, my car came with similar. Sounds great and I have NOT missed having an obnoxious car all the time while at the same time it's loud enough at WOT that my Dad heard it clearly through a mile and a half of trees as I was merging onto the interstate leaving his house the other day.

I really think this kind of setup is the wave of the future. It's just the best of both worlds all the time.

I love the quiet-as-my-G20 cruising, and then when I nail it the flaps open up and it is loud as hell. It's running straights at that point, basically. Also worth a 20whp or so bump when those flaps open at around 3200rpm. You can see it on a dyno graph and feel it in your SOTP. Then you get off the gas, and it sounds like a machine-gun, or if you watch this crap, a NASCAR.

Definitely something I think other manufacturers will make their own versions of.

^There is flaps closed, and flaps open. He looks to only be revving to about 3500-4K at highest. The crackles on decel start for me at around 4500-5K.

I've seen it done, never well.

I tried it on my s, but open headers vs straight pipe that fell off didn't change sound much.

Steve have you heard the gt500 in person? Curious how volume compares to yours

It's as loud as a GT500, so not quite as loud as mine.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 02:17 PM

I haven't heard one in a while :-/

It's probably 50% louder than a GT, maybe more.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 02:22 PM

On a scale from 0-10?

From 0-10 I would put the stockers at 3. FRPPs are at 8. GT500 is somewhere in between stock and FRPP.

Red's setup is probably like a 13.

Germany made laws and raped my baby of her ferocity, had to have coffee cans welded on because someone stole my stockers
