Cheapest V8 Swap Ever

wspohn · 02-09-2010, 07:35 AM

So you want a V8 swap but your significant other isn't on side with spending all that money? (They can be so unreasonable sometimes!)

Here's a way to get what you want at a price he or she should be able to live with. And the better your sound system in the car, the better it works, so you have an excuse to get that new sub-woofer and amp, too.

It senses RPM from alternator output and synthesizes engine sounds through the radio - comes in V8 or V10 versions.

If you have a loud enough stereo, they'll never know the difference down at the drive-in!

Now you have a link to post every time someone says they want an exhaust system for their 4 banger to make it sound like a V8. And it's cheaper than all the systems out there and NO DRONE!!!! WIN WIN!!

But how much power does make? should be good for at least 350whp

I1ULUZ · 02-10-2010, 06:32 AM

Wonder if they can make one for the sound of the CAI's? All the sound of power with the same HP gains for only $50 AUS. Maybe a package deal for $90.

Even a turbo version for the NA folks, spool and bypass/blow off valve sounds.

Wow, that sounds even better than the baseball cards I have clipped on to my fenders to rub on my wheel spokes!

any chance then can build one to sound like a saturn sky redline

Silver_Ghost · 02-11-2010, 10:13 AM

So the sound is heard only INSIDE the car, unless you have some of those speakers on the outside, no one else will here it? I guess you could drive around with your windows down. Or hook up some weather resistant/water proof speakers to the out side of your car. You could always hide them underneath some place.

Yeah, so I could use it to make my V8 sports cars sound like an LNF with a hole in the muffler......perhaps not.

BTW, I found the V12 version of this to be really unconvincing. The V8 one, especially in the clip, seemed pretty darned good. Just the thing for a Civic with a megaphone tip, but otherwise stock, quiet exhaust, and a good stereo so you could run with the windows down.

Gee, I wonder if it'll pass emissions
