I came across this car it has amazing long backfires and burbles. Its similar to the F-type , i heard many straight pipe cars the sound is louder but it didn't effect the burble i wanted to ask if any of you know this company or how they are doing it, Using a special pipe design or tune to have this amazing sound.


Here is the video enjoy the popcorn !

That's a lot of unburned fuel

when I got my tune I was told that he increased the amount of burbles and pops via the software but didn't go overboard or it would burn up the cats (Steve at DIME)

I think these artificial over-run pops will become the new plastic cladding from the 90's.

I find that crackling super annoying, can't imagine driving that thing for more than 5 minutes :/

Same. I'm interested in low barks not spoons in the garbage disposal.

Its amazing how can Porsche and Jaguar do it in there Cayman GTS and F-Type regardless of the cats dont know why amg didnt take the same path if the burbles were continuous it would be nice.

Burbles comes only in Sport + and race setting. so you will have the choice to drive quietly or have a Firing AK-47 from your exhaust ! lol

Sorry, had to

Ha!

I think carbon fiber trim pieces are the new plastic cladding. Carbon fiber is for weight savings and stiffnes/strength- why would anyone want a dash panel trim piece made out of it?

Because glossy carbon looks better than plastic/vinyl?

I work for Nissan/Infiniti, and you've probably seen us experiment with several different interior trim finishes... particularly in the Infiniti vehicles (think Q60).

The metal trims all scratch easily. Plastic is... plastic. The vinyl "pleather" is OK as a soft-touch surface, but not every surface (radio bezels, etc) is suitable for such a texture.

Piano black looks fantastic when it's clean, which is a time-span of about .6 seconds. White works in very rare situations. Painted silver looks clean, but it's very easily scratched.

I agree that carbon vinyl wraps are no bueno... but if it's a real carbon overlay of a piece which would otherwise be ABS plastic, rock on with your bad self

I agree with Kreiger. I'm staring at a black plastic console and it's well black plastic.

I would opt for a matte carbon fiber trim in middle of console and maybe some on door trim and that's it. It's just a visual accent, and not meant to have a structural function. It would also serve to break up my ridiculous Black/black obsession lol.

Kreuzfeuer

Exactly. SLK (R171) is a good example... OEM center console area near the parking brake lever is plastic. But the trim piece shown below is a work of art.

Carbon is just now becoming affordable for mass-production cars... so, it's still ahead of the decay curve of being over-used. 5-10 years from now... we'll have some other type of unobtanium that we're using

Kinda makes deceleration as enjoyable as acceleration

That sounds like straight garbage. Just need to reminisce about the good old days:
