SL600 Teaser Vid!

So, I have a film project going on and decided to snap a couple shots of the SL600. I wasn't recording, it was a friend who had no idea how to use the camera. Not sure why the youtube quality is so crappy, it was filmed in full HD (if anyone knows a website that hosts HD film, let me know!). Anyways, I'll be putting together a longer video of the beast later, for now ENJOY!

I put it together rather quickly, so nevermind the errors:

CLICK ME!

Stay tuned...

TURN UP THE SPEAKERS!

Awesome sound, although it sounds like your car has a Blow off valve on it when the intake sucks air in..lol. Sounds like a Greddy Type S to be exact. Very whistly. Can't wait to hear WOT pulls with that setup.

What you are hearing is the "diverter valve" which acts the same way the a blow off valve works by bleeding boost in between shifts as the throttle plate closes

Thanks!

In regards to performance, it's just muffler-delete and one-off air intakes. Not too much, really want an ECU/TCU done + IC Res...

Thanks, but no Greddy Type S for me! LOL, will be doing WOT pulls in a bit... as of right now I'm scouting some areas where I can do a proper shoot and maybe have a car or two to compare against.

So, is that just what the stock DV sounds like? What happens if you install a larger one like they do on Audi's?

Oh I know what a DV is Jay, never thought it would be that loud and prominent on the V12TT, that's awesome!

What are you guys doing for tips? Are you chopping your OEM ones off and welding to a straight pipe?

Yeah!
I got comfy, popcorn under my arm and a beer ready.
I blinked and it was over. To hear the full effect you need some open road,
not a built up area, very much frowned on over here by all inc the police.
