Calling All Drivers: Looking For Test Cars

Hey Everyone,

I've been working on a plug-and-play audio product for performance cars and am getting ready to test out the production prototype. The product is designed to create a more immersive driving experience. I'm looking for wide and diverse pool of cars for testing before we get it out to market. If you have any interest in being a tester, please shoot me a PM for more details.

Cheers

That's funny, I was watching thinking, well that's unusual, no one wants potentially free music? I'll bet you received 50 PM's if not more.

The product is actually exhaust related, and I've received well over 100 PM's on this forum alone

I'm still open to more inquires if anyone else is interested.

Are you looking for local drivers only?

So plug and play audio related to exhaust......are you piping sound into the cabin?

I have a lot of local folks but also want some non-locals as well. Shoot me a PM and I can tell you more about getting specific details.

Hi Everyone,

So I'll be emailing everyone at once since it's the easiest and most efficient way to reach out to everyone that's interested as well as give them a deadline for confirmation responses. We presently have about 300 potential testers across the globe, so there's a lot of moving pieces.

Our next step will be sending out them mail and getting confidentiality waivers signed, then we'll be doing testing by region (we're finalizing the regional testing schedule on our side right now). I'll also be PMing folks and replying here to let them know when to expect the email as well.

Thank you all again for your patience and interest

And just for you Richbot, I present "whistle tips"

I'm guessing that is what it is. I have aftermarket headers and exhaust and my engine sounds great without enhancement.

Also hope not, but...is it wrong if I want to see a retrofit of something like the Porsche sound symposer which routes actual induction sound into the cabin? I wish our in-cabin sound was 911 GT3 volume (even though the GT3 doesn't use such silly tech).

Thanks again everyone for the inquiries! We've officially reached our capacity for test cars so we won't be accepting anymore. However we do have a teaser site up, so if you'd like you can check it out and stay up to date here.

Thanks again and I look forward to letting you all know more over the coming weeks

Apologies for going MIA, we hit a technical snag that caused us to need to do a major resign, so we're finally getting ready to begin production testing after many delays. It's been one of those things where you ask "why has no one done this before?" and then when you build it, you find out exactly why no one has done it before

Updates to follow soon!

I heard he wants to actually record the S65, then install a speaker that plays the engine note in all other cars.

Good luck. If it is what I think it is it will be a hit. I built one for myself and it totally was a game changer. Dial up the volume.
