MERCEDES EXHAUST HELP?? SoundBooster???
I drive a 2015 Mercedes C300 and it is extremely quiet. I have looked into exhaust systems and they are way too expensive and just don't sound as good as they are priced. recently I have discovered this thing called an active sound booster and it seems to be very popular in the German market not just for the C Class but other luxury cars as well such as Audi, BMW... back to the topic as I mentioned it is very popular in the German market and it is not even to be heard of in the American market. Every shop I call seems to have no idea of what on earth a sound booster is. that being said, I am wondering if anyone has looked into this as well or has brought it and can explain how it is installed and if its worth it. in English please because every single video on youtube is in German.
here is a link to the product:

Thank you for sharing! I haven't heard of this product. I watched the YouTube fragment and I'm impressed with the sound. But than the price 
If you just want a louder exhaust sound you could remove a mufler for a straight pipe or bypass the mufler with a bypass system.... google: bypass mufler exhaust
both options are cheap compared to the soundbooster.

This thing is kinda cool. It looks like it's a speaker inside a ton can, with an RPM sensor. That video shows different present sounds. I will take a Ferrari V12 sound for my c450 please.

Yup. It's a speaker in a tin can that is controlled by engine load and RPM. They even gave a Tesla and engine noise. That really is an interesting device. I hate its existence but I kind of dig the idea of cruising down the street wailing like an F1 car. These guys also make something like the VW soundaktor, which is like a mini speaker that vibrates through your hood to give you that rumble. Zose Germans vis zer free time.
