I dont think it sounds like a fart can, but i guess thats ur opinion, or maybe you need better speakers? or i guess the mic really sucks.

its not a beer fart lol, its jus a little raspy due to his bigger piping and race exhaust. sounds pretty mean, im sure it sounds good when getting on it. it sounds like theres no restrictions in the flow. do you happen to know what the diameter of the stock exhaust pipe is? and did u notice any gains out of going bigger piping and with the eisenmann...i have the v6, and im trying to learn how i can get the revs to be a bit more jumpy.

eh....my Klipsch computer speakers (with sub) sound fine
I can say this....that exhaust note is going to be really irritating at a constant 65mph on the highway. My past muscle cars, Supra and Talon all sounded better than that. Heck, even my MG's sound good with their ol' school Monza exhausts.

I prefer the quiet subtlety of my Mercedes...Neither are race cars and weren't intended to be. To each his own, but if I was looking for that "sound", I'd buy a six pack of Meisterbrau and a can of baked beans.

Are you sure you weren't revving a gas powered garden trimmer? My eisenmann exhaust doesn't sound like that at all.

Too many to list
I agree with everyone else's opinion here about that sound. Too rice-like sound...or bees in a can! Here's a quick comparison between my remus. Just took it this morning...engine is already warmed up.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Hey Darren sounds good. You need to PM me a shop to get my tint done. I don't want that crap tint that makes my signal go bad. Anyway, when I come home, we have to plan a meet.

You got it. I have a lot on the way and for real this time haha. I should be ordering the Rieger front lip soon. I was thinking of getting a full front bumper but was convinced after doing a google search and finding this picture:


Anyway, after that it's off to tint and then the custom exhaust shop that Paul and Vik went to so I can get my $350 quad exhaust

I would be more efficient if you just downloaded them onto your computer, stitched them together, made your own photo album, etc.
