Default Re: Boostmonkey mods: SLK32 AMG custom exhaust, Flowmaster Super 40

Exhaust version 5 is installed.

Going with stacked pulleys and a Eurocharged tune legitimately made the car louder under throttle.

For this round the Magnaflow oval glass-pack muffler was replaced with a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler. It is considerably quieter under WOT. It still sounds aggressive, but won't attract attention from as far a distance when I'm standing on the throttle. While cruising, the sound is almost identical to the Magnaflow.

For when I DO want loud, I installed a 3" electric cutout. > With the cutout open, it is way too loud for normal driving around. I can definitely see myself opening it for low-speed cruises, pulling into cars 'n coffee, drag racing, etc.

1/4 times with the cutout open / closed and new videos will be coming.

For now, here is a video comparison of open pipes, Flowmaster Super 40 Series, Magnaflow glasspack, and Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers.
