Default Office-K LFA exhaust: Improving on perfection?



Or should have Tokyo tuner Office-K have left the sound of the LFA alone? Watch the video below and let me know what you think.

There are a bunch more photos on the blog.

That's what I thought too? Just maybe a little more bass? Could be the room?

The loudness, pitch, bass etc. are all pretty much stock. Although, the 72 degree V10 engine inherently makes that noise and the exhaust does little to change it substantially, but that sounds no different at all.

You can compare the sound with this #016 LFA and it sounds pretty much the same

Straight pipes would make any car sound bad, go on youtube and watch those Carrera GT with straight pipes, sound like poop.

If I remember right, that Enzo with straight pipes sound bad too.

All cars need a certain level of resonation to sound smooth
