Austin Martin [ Exhaust ]

Yesturday on my way home I saw a Austin Martin , Vantage . What a beautiful car . Never have seen one in person. I drove next to it for about a good mile or so. The one thing that got my attention was the sound coming from that exhaust . I've never heard anything like it .

Is there any exhaust system out there that would sound like that ? I'm not a fan of the exhaust , but if I could get that sound on my 8 , I'll do it in a heart beat .

Thanks......

Much different engine, hence different exhaust sound from the Aston-Martin.

The ASTON has an active bypass valve in the exhaust to open up at a certain rpm. Also, the exhaust was designed from the get go to sound awesome. Some call it "manufactured" though.
