Well of course it's going to sound different. If you mounted it inside the passenger compartment right next to your ear it's going to sound different than if it were mounted behind the turn signals inside of the splash shields.

EDIT: Used to work for Procharger? Lucky bastard I envy you

I just got back from tour Rob and I am doing some catching up. The video and the car is amazing. Congrats I cant wait to see the numbers that thing puts up. My car feels amazing and yours will make probably at least 300 more hp than my car. That should be one hell of a ride.

Let me just point out something about how this car sounds. If anyone was considering the sound to be subtle from the video, you would be mistaken

I just heard this car as it drove past me at Northwood plaza earlier today and let me be the first to say, "This car sounds absolutely F'kn nasty in person!

." I Know I would be real happy right now if I just got my car back and it sounded like that..........

The car is pure sex with the F1a
