I have a new Sunbeam Specialties stainless system on my car. To be honest,
I am not an expert on the sound of these engines, so it's hard to judge or
describe it. I am used to sounds like sport mufflers on Porsches, Remus
sport systems on BMW M cars, etc. Those get my blood flowing, so to speak.
I will tell you that I wish the Tiger had a more aggressive sound, which
absolutely does not mean louder or droning to me. How can I describe the
sound of these mufflers?... The car sounds pretty OK with the throttle wide
open, but it isn't at all a turn on to me when idling or running calmly. I
have actually been considering the idea of replacing the mufflers with
something else to give it a more burbly, free-flowing sound. Having said
all of that, there are no Tigers I've seen or heard on the road around me,
so maybe mine is as good as they should sound. I can tell you that the
Cobra club meets up the street from me every Saturday and those cars sound
much cooler to me than my Tiger. I hate to put down the Sunbeam Specialties
mufflers, but they honestly don't scratch my itch. But you know what they
say about opinions...
