Supersprint Rear Exhaust

Looks like a new option has popped up for the M60i. Noticed it last night while browsing IND-Distribution’s site.

Not cheap by any stretch but at least good to see another vendor come out with something. Just wish we had some audio/video clips…

I don’t fault IND-Distribution for the lack of audio/video but I do definitely fault the manufacturer, Supersprint in this case. I never understand how exhaust vendors will release a product without providing at least two to three different audio/video examples. For a modification that is 99.9% done for auditory purposes (small percentage may do it for weight reduction or performance purposes too) it seems silly to think they list something for sale without providing any sort examples. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Couldnt agree more. I mean it would be in their best interest to do so as well

I'll second that. I'd also say some have really poor clips that tell you nothing; like having the mic 2 inches from the end of an exhaust tip and the recording is blown out by wind noise and distortion.

And I don't know if it's just me being selfish, but I buy primarily to please myself. I want a recording of what it sounds like in the cabin, because I'm the audience. Bonus points for having a decibel meter in the picture so I can adjust my speaker volume to match the reading in the car. It's not perfect but better than having no comparative reference.

We completely understand the complaint. The simple fact is that it's so difficult for vendors like us to produce our own clips for the myriad of exhaust and models that are out there. We do work with the manufacturers as much as possible to improve media and we actively purchase as many vehicles as possible and are constantly swapping products on them just to provide as much media as we can for the community.

It gets to be an extremely expensive endeavor.

To be clear, you shouldn't have to do it, I'd finger the manufacturer. My opinion of course.

The manufacturer needs to do this with either the car they are testing it on or offer it at a discount to someone with the car in order to get the marketing videos/sounds. Exactly why Hennessey sells so many overpriced packages, because their marketing is tremendous. Not many folks are going to drop $5k down on a system based on a picture
