  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

With all the different threads describing all sort of exhaust mods, I was close to pulling the trigger on some sort of an exhaust mod at least few times in the last six years.

Then I read that Ford, BMW and others are playing fake sound into the cabin to enhance the driver experience, so I wondered if there is an of the shelf app that could do the same?

Sure enough there are few out there already that were good enough to play with just for fun;

It requires a bit of tweaking to get it right, but it was a fun thing play with and I thought I would share...

As turns out, I got so used to the quietness of the Genny cabin, I no longer seem to miss the 'big exhaust' / 'turbo whine' sound any more! (or maybe I am just getting old(er)! :o).

five minutes is about all I can take, but I think it will be a nice toy to keep around and have some fun with friends.

I just have to remember to crank that bass way up....:D

If you would like to try it out, the base 'american muscle' sound is free but you can purchase other more exotic engine sounds for around $2.99 single engine / $4.99 (4 car pack)...
