    GMG R8 V10 Exhaust.

    Hey guys,

    A bit of an update. Exhaust is finished and we've done some runs on the dyno. Exhaust alone with no supporting mods (or software) has given us a +20hp gain at the wheels... We're pretty stoked on that! The car should be optomized with GIAC software in the coming week - hopefully we can add a bit more to that gain.

    Here are some pictures and the dyno graph:

    Impressions:

    Under WOT the exhaust is simply amazing offering an amazing sound with minimal cabin sound.

    It makes the V10 come alive.. I dont think I listened to the radio all weekend.

    The sound is refined very remiscent of our world famous Carrera GT system.

    Cruising around under partial throttle offers a deeper tone- no resonance and a quiet cabin.

    6th gear partial throttle and freeway crusing the system is only about 10% louder than stock

    You can easily have a conversation on the blue tooth with no back ground noise.

    The complete system is designed developed and built at GMG using our proprietery dual chamber mufflers.

    I have to say I think that sounds suits the car very well.

    Is GIAC formulating the software for your system or will it be a gereral software upgrade.

    basically this engine could be capable of 600 hp- just by raising the limiter, reengineering the intake system a bit, and slapping on a less restrictive exhaust. the problem is torque in my opinion.

    i wonder if audi will update this engine for the next R8 or start anew with something altogether different.

    Rumour is that the next Gen R8 gets a 4.0TFSI V8 Overhead Bi-Turbo engine.
