The cure for wimpy exhaust note

Maybe you opted for a quiet exhaust system but there are times when you want your Speedster to have a note of more authority.

Now you can.

Here is the Sound Racer option.

This is the V-12 version.

It plugs into your lighter socket and links with your radio. Now your Speedster can sound like a V-12 Ferrari 512, a V-10 or a V-8.

That should sell well on a Kia Juke.

I'm screwed. I don't even have a radio. But then my wife says she hears speedy coming half a mile up the road. Maybe I'm making my own sterio?

We have a Scion xB.

Maybe I will try the V-10 sound on that.

These things cost about $40.

Regardless, whether we're at the Beaufort or Massachusetts Hacienda, the two Jack Russell's can hear Pearl coming about a third of a mile away, start barking and heading to the door to greet me.

I've even tried "sneaking" in using a higher gear and almost idling along but they still know I'm coming.

It's cool......

There's the answer for those guys building the electric Speedsters and the worry a pedestrian (or blind person) might step out in front of the vehicle! I'd like a 2 stroke Yamaha - rat-ta-ta-ta. Wouldn't that be annoying? Could do the Walter Mitty thing sitting in car in garage and not worry about carbon monoxide (oops, I'll have to install the seats!)

Greg, better leave the door open, your car does have to be running. The SoundRacer synchronizes with the RPM of the engine.

I'm gonna stick with giant pistons, Mike.

Think they will come out with a version that sounds like a jet,,,, or a choo choo train ??? ;-)

I'm with Cory. Big slugs exhaling through a merged exhaust pretty much eradicates all wimpiness.

My right foot is the cure for wimpy exhaust note!

VROOM VROOM THIS BABY!

First it's 22 posts about cup holders in speedsters, now it's digitally reproduced exhaust noise over the radio. What the hell kind of perverted speedster owners am I running with here?????

OH, wait a minute, I just saw the ideal application for this technology. It's for all those who buy a Tesla or an Aptera! Imagine it - a perfectly silent electric vehicle with an enhanced sound system that broadcasts like a F1 V10 at full throttle! Maybe electric speedster make sense after all? Maybe not.

But a OSHA mandate is very near coming to require a certain noise level for ALL electric vehicles below 35 MPH or so. This would be better than a cowbell. Maybe not.
