I recently broke down on the M2 due to a loose cable on the ignition and where I stopped, down the grass bank was this. I got it home, cut the excess tubing off and after a google it turns out it's an exhaust sound enhancer. It's essentially a speaker which you connect to the tailpipe of the exhaust and it can play the sound of a v8 whilst driving. It can play any music or sound you wish to put through it and it pipes it through the existing exhaust. Anyone know anything about the control box used and if the sound would change according to the speed of the car? I think it can just about fit on the 9000 but I need to think about the sound to use - I could just plugin a fart machine through it!?]

I'd go put it back where you found it.

No idea, but interesting to see, I always assumed they were just little speakers in the dashboard or something.

I'd go put it back where you found it. Why? I can't imagine why anyone would leave it there deliberately for safekeeping rather than just chucking it in the boot of their car. And if it fell off without them realising I'm not sure how they would ever find it again down a grass verge off a motorway.

Keep it for when weve all been forced into "save the planet" electric cars and we can remember the sound of a V8!!

If it's just a speaker, with two wires for audio input, imagine the fun you could have recording the car chase off Bullitt and drive round with that flying out the back (Other car chase scenarios are available)

Wow, all i need is that and a flame kit for my Cube and I'm sorted!
Personally, id play this through it, mainly from 0.05 to 0.20 on repeat, but all of it when it suits me, on repeat.

And I thought all these cars were generating their own exhaust notes - not Maserati, audi, vw's after looking them up online

From what I gather the part isn’t really a speaker, more a pressure modulator (although I’m sure technically a loudspeaker is that anyway) so I'm not sure hooking it up to your hifi will yield much in the way of results.

Just looked these up to see what the retail is. It’s 4 figures as a complete kit.
