This is what the controller looks like.

You can see the 4 position knob on the left.

This is a solution for noise pollution because unlike a traditional aftermarket exhaust system the driver has control of the external volume of this kit through the controller, they can even turn it off altogether. If you think you might upset someone, you just turn it down or shut it off. Can't do that with straight pipes......

Did you mean this sincerely or were you making a joke?

The product is a mod to take a basically silent car and have it make noise. I'd say that's pretty much the opposite of a solution to noise pollution.

Those who appreciate car sounds can now enjoy their hobby without bothering anyone else. Those who want more quiet in their lives will have that, without preventing someone else from enjoying their hobby. This is a solution that addresses the needs of all groups involved. Noise pollution will decrease and enthusiasts can still have as just as much fun, if not even more. All sides benefit, it's Inclusive and excludes no one.

I actually cant believe people spend money on this thing. Make a quiet car go loud with fake sound. Should just get an actual V8.

Gas, electric, hydrogen, algae....... whatever else is coming........making cars sound cool, from a true performance standpoint, in the spirit of aftermarket personalization. Is where our heart is.

The visceral connection sound provides when you're driving, the bond sound provides between driver and vehicle, the creativity people demonstrate with personalization of their vehicles, the soul that so many are missing from a silent driving experience.

We believe that experience should be available to everyone without discrimination, regardless of how their vehicle is powered.

Can’t hear the sound clips. A college kid almost walked into my moving car because he couldn’t hear it. He was not looking.

You mean the fart pipe sound? ?? My Toyotas had tube headers and Flowmasters on them. Aside from the tree bark-stripping sound the carbs made, they sounded like real performance cars running 10.2K RPM. ??

So you're that guy.

He's also going to install straight pipes and put speakers near the exhaust. I'm just about out of popcorn.

Even the people trying to get away from loud cars.

I would love to substitute the back up beeper, with the sounds of a GT500 idling, when I pull out of the driveway in my MME.

This. ? When I am backing up, the neighbors think it is a garbage ttuck

The rest of the time I don’t want the sound of the past. The car has a nice inverter whine that I happen to like a lot. Sounds like the future.

What I do like about this is that the aftermarket is picking up steam on modding our EV’s. That is a good thing.

If that was really the case, the the speakers would all be mounted internally in the cabin. But as is, it's located outside the cabin. At least that's how I read it.

I'm not criticizing the people doing this but it just completely baffles me why someone would pay a good bit of money so their EV has the sound of a loud exhaust of an ICE car. I can appreciate the tech, but just don't see it.

Because it is fun. There isn't another reason. The main reason I spent $62k on my GT is because it is such a fun car to drive. If you don't care about having fun in your car, maybe a Bolt is a better choice?

Next is towing a generator to make up for all the gas we did not burn and the smog we didn’t emit.

Installed. Took about 6 hours with beers and eating dinner with family. @davidborla . Amazing, great work. Need some Tie Fighters in my future.
