Well, being an EL, it isn't going to have that deep, "boxer rumble." Personally I think it sounds okay up to around 4,000 RPM. After that, it's definitely tinnier than I'd like. I think the cheap, $30 microphone I was using also didn't do all that great a job of picking up the deeper notes. For example, in the car, there is a bit of deeper resonance/drone around the 3,000 mark, but you don't really hear that at all in the video. Having said that, it isn't low and burbly like an AMG exhaust, but I haven't really heard any exhaust for this car that can do that without also being way louder than what I'd want.
All that being said, I thought it sounded OK on my headphones. This setup is actually a bit rumblier down low than I had expected it to be.
