Exhaust Upgrades?

[Lil4X]

I really like the idea of a long chromed (considering a warmer nickle-plate) upswept pipe exiting somewhere near the rear wheel hub, ending in a slight megaphone. To be determined yet is the "voice" of the Elio engine. My Civic needed to be quiet, that little 4-banger was some kind of ugly without some silencing. However my Opel was quiet, but when I removed the resonator and replaced it with straight pipe, it could sneak around when necessary, but release a surprising howl as it approached the redline with a crackling burble on the overrun. Son of Lotus! Little German engines aren't supposed to do that!

I always laugh at guys trying to make 3,4,6 cyl engines sound tough. Sounds like a leaf blower to me. Can't wait to get the 460 built in the next couple weeks for my jetboat; that'll play some wicked exhaust music.

I always laugh at people trying to make piston engines sound tough. Sounds like a leaf blower to me. Can't wait to get the GE T58 fired up in the next couple of weeks for my jet boat, that'll play some wicked exhaust music.

460s? Turbines? Blah.

No better sound in the world than a 92 series Detroit going through the gears.

Oh, forgot to mention the 8-92 powered canoe in my last post.

Lawd I Apolergize!

That's already been done! You plug it into the cigar lighter and tune your radio to it. Look up "Soundracer".

Well I tried one out on my smart. It tried to work but could not read the RPM very well and kept falling back to an idle. But if they would tap in to the OBD II port and pick up real RPM and throttle position, then make it easy to up date the sound file. Then they would have something! Right now it's just a toy, and not a very good one.

I plan on installing loud speakers underneath and running a continuous loop of a turbine spooling up like the sound effect from some of the "Star War's" vehicles.. (not really)

I am sure we can hang a Super trap or SE night stick on it. Torch and weld we can make anything fit.
