Title: Sound Racer
Post by: StinkyPete on September 14, 2015, 09:45:01 AM
I was prompted to post this after hearing the hype about the new (and last) Aussie Commodore, the VF II.    The blurb includes reference to an exhaust sound device "... a resonator that inducts noise into the cabin to enhance the driving experience..."    This sounds to me like the "Sound Racer" which has been on the market for a while.   The Sound Racer is a device that plugs into your cigarette lighter and via your radio, gives you a V8, V10 or V12 sound inside your car, with the engine revs picked up via the alternator output.  See   http://revvheads.com.au/ (http://revvheads.com.au/)  for more info and a video of the device in action.   I'm thinking Christmas presents for the boys in the family, as it looks like a pretty cool gadget.

What would really cap it all off, would be to rig one of these on your ST.
There's not too many V8 ST's around  :grin

Oh dear, what a sad "wannabe" device.     :grin

The upside is there's less noise outside the car this way, unlike those doof-doof boom boxes you can hear literally a block away, and ditto the unmuffled Harley "look-at-me" pipes.

A crumpledore pulled up beside us at the lights a few years ago and the bass on what ever sound system they were using was set so low you could hear the car vibrate with each beat.
