Interesting. I'll have to watch some Youtube clips of before and after.
Also, LCG, right there with ya. I was about to quote my original post and bold the word sound.
/Zer vill be no laughter
The new M5 is one of the worst offenders - it actually uses the stereo system to generate fake engine noise inside the cabin from the speakers.
All exhausts modify the sound of an engine in some way. Only an engine without an exhaust can be "pure", but then it just won't run correctly. Big straight pipes are the closest you'll get, but those are impractical if not illegal for road cars. So essentially, every exhaust system on every road car is made for the purpose of modifying the engine note in some way. Most are to quiet the engine. Sports cars and super cars usually try to balance practicality, performance, and aesthetics. An Aston Martin note is no more or less pure than a Ferrari than a Lamborghini than an Audi.
Even valved exhausts I wouldn't consider any more fake, as they serve the same stated purpose but in different ways.
So really, the only "fake" exhaust note are the synthesized ones as noted.
there is the difference! tuneing the engine note != muting the engine and creating an artificial new sound
just listen to this
you hardly hear any engine, it's all exhaust ramble
you can take any pipe, of any diameter, bend it any way you want, it will never sound like that!!
you have to start adding vanes and ports and bypasses on the inside of the exhaust to get that effect
