If you upgraded from an SL55 to an SL65 ...

how badly do you miss the exhaust sounds of the SL55?
Can anyone link me to a really good clip(s) of the exhaust note on the SL65?

My neighbor did this. The 65 is faster. I did miss the sound of the 55, but the 65 is just scary when it idles. I think the sound is just as good, but in a different way.

SL65

All I hear from the cockpit is whoosh...

Friends driving behind me tell me it's more of an automotive symphony.

I have loud cars with monster V-8s, but I take the SL65 everytime.

With the difference in HP in the SL65 you wont care about the exhaust sound anymore... and if you really want a mean and tough sounding exhaust in the 65 just gut the cats

Get the 65....you can always add the Kleemann exhaust (sounds awesome on the 65) if you need more growl!

If, I want noise....... A Straight-Piped Race System would give you more sound and more HP/TORQUE at the same time.........BUT, the powerband would be much more narrow........it just comes down to the same old contest, Torque/vs./Horsepower...........and where do ya want it?????.
