I love the sound of my car so much I decided to make and share a little clip.

Disclaimer: this was done with an iPhone and the result is a bit underwhelming - at least on my laptop (crappy speakers and a broken aux jack means I can't even plug in my headphones )

Hopefully it sounds better on you guys' computers.

Car sounds amazing in person, IMHO. The tone of the Supersprint is very deep at low RPM and there is a lot of bass there. It's definitely the "deep" type and not the "screamer" type. Makes for some awesome city driving!

From ~3000rpm and up it pretty much sounds like stock although a notch louder. No drone on the freeway!

The clip consists of two parts. 1) exhaust, 2) intake

Exhaust:
_"Cold" start with auxiliary air pump activate - lasts about a minute until it quiets down
_Neutral rev -up to 5k
_Go -first pass, WOT into 2nd gear
_Go- regular drive by

The second part of the video is audio only.

The sound is recorded from the cabin as I drive around with the windows down in an attempt to capture the induction sound of the Macht Schnell Intake.

Again it doesn't sound like much on my crappy laptop but the sound in person is intoxicating!

So much that I said screw it to the new-car-smell and just drive around with the windows down

Hope y'all enjoy this crappy vid
