How To Make A Used Audi Sedan Sound Like A Lamborghini

My jaw dropped when I saw the headers!

Very excited to see this, I hope it does well and additional parts start to be developed. I cannot justify dropping 10k considering I already have the milltek exhaust installed. Lets hope he builds a custom intake as well!

It's easy when you know how to edit sound track on your video. That's obviously manual transmission sound, Gallardo sound, on that clip.

Gallardo has different camshafts raising max power from 7000 to 8000 rpm. That's a big part of that sound. Besides that just opened muffler and voila. Header on that picture has no sense. Pipes are too long for 7000 rpm peak power. Price ridiculous.

I just thought he was running tiptronic to max RPMS too long. Could easily be crafted audio however I do love the look of those headers. Downfall is that even with them installed you would never see them.

How about rev matching when downshifting? Can you do that with Tiptronic?

Header of that kind for 5 cylinder Audi are ~$150 from China and works well.

I think it's probably the genuine sound as the gear changes are fairly slow and slurred like an auto box. The Gallardo changes are much more rapid and punchy as it has a non torque converter type transmission.

Although the rate of increase in speed seems fairly leasurly in relation to the amount of noise which makes it all seem a little bit silly.
