I don't know who the guy in the white Fiesta was but he sure races like a idiot.

Why would you want an exhaust noise played through your car stereo?

It is gay, but manufacturers have been doing similar things for years. The NVH boys spend ages making the cabin as quiet as possible, but then you can't hear when to change gear - so you synthesize the sound somehow. VAG have done it with bulkhead membranes plumbed in to the inlet tract before now, I guess the stereo option means that they can more easily tune what the occupants hear.

I had something similar sent in while I was working at Max. Funniest damned thing I've ever 'fitted' to my car:

V8 Passat anyone? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lots of cars have things in the cabin for noise. Often tapped into the inlet, it's gay

Same as fitting a noisy exhaust to something though, really.

Well not really, a noisy exhaust might be fitted as performance aid, your not gonna get any performance by playing an engine noise through your car stereo. Unless you know some thing I don't? In which case I'm off to record myself making broom noises and then burn it to cd for the next trip to the pod :lol:

Where's that video Danny lee made of the fake dump valve? :lol:

I meant a fart can on a 1.0 litre car. Good for 0.0005bhp and a load of noise.
