Default SL 55 Note

Today i was driving my sisters SL 55... And it is meh... Don't get me wrong, it is extremely fast, confortable, etc... But you don't get that exciting driving sensation... I was driving 150mph and I just does not feel exciting or fast, even with the top down.
On the other hand...the sound it makes... Man... Who needs a stereo...
Now my question is, and it is serious one, how to make my crossfire sound like that.
I know that majority of you will say to put the sl engine in it, buy an sl and so one...
But please be serious.
I would sell my kidney for that exaust noise...

Thank you so much for understanding

Put a microphone next to the SL55's exhaust and make a recording while idling and then floor it a couple times, burn to CD and play it really loud in the Crossfire.

I think it would be tuff to do without a V8 and dual exhaust.

I've gotta' get one for a friend with a Prius! Perfect!

Does a Prius even HAVE an alternator?

It's pretty impossible for that thing to work on a Prius - the Prius doesn't have an alternator. It has two generator/motors (MG1 and MG2) that are sometimes generating power and sometimes driving the wheels or starting the gas engine.
The 12V battery system for the gas engine's ignition and the car's accessories is run and charged by a DC/DC converter off of the big drive batteries in the back of the car, rather than an alternator.
The Prius has a cool system from an engineering perspective... too bad the resulting car is so lame!

So let me get this straight, you just stick it in the power socket and your car goes faster? Oh wait... It only sounds faster. Just wanted to make sure we're not throwing in these V8s for no good reason. LOL

If this is my retirement money, my condo by the pool is looking to be a Kenmore refrigerator box sitting next to a mud puddle! LOL
