Forgive me if it doesn't work yet. I just uploaded it. Check back if it isn't there.

Its me demonstrating my paddle shifters and rev matching in my A8. I will do a better vid next time. If you have decent speakers, that 4.2 growl sounds great!<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlLOEyfG9c8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlLOEyfG9c8</a</li></ul>

Default Thanks! Nice work. Ever consider coating them black?
Car sounds great on the 5.1's subwoofer here.

That's not stock exhaust, is it? Sounds throaty. I'm envious of the paddles. Nice!

90% sure he hacksaw'd off the 2nd muffler, leaving only the center unit.

Default I've got Pro E production CAD files ready to go. I am going to run a prototype on my FDM machine.
Yeah, probably will be black next time around.

Default Those shifters are great.
I thought I also heard an all too familiar brake squeek in the video. Do all of our brakes sound like that?

My OEMs never squeeked. My PBR Ceramics only whistle when they are STONE COLD. Not after.
