Really good job, brother. Looks like you might have more torque than GT4s at corner exits. That yellow GT4 sounded really cool, but yours sound great, at least inside the car. May I ask if you removed the fuse (#10) to kill the fake sound (Soundaktor), or you still have it? Just curious. And hey, don't short-sell yourself; you're absolutely a decent driver. Thank you for posting that video; it was fun.

Haha yea, I got torque for days. I don't have a tune either ... if I had a tune it would be a completely different experience. I didn't remove the fuse, I do have a Kline exhaust though, the inconel one, and it sounds pretty good (I am, obviously, a bit biased).

You should try removing the fuse to only hear the natural engine/exhaust sound. If you don't like it, just put it back in. Probably only 1 out of 10 who try it, put it back. Supposed to sound better. And in your case, probably much better. I'll do the same when I get mine in October. Only H4s have that thing, by the way. The H6s have the 'symposer', which you have to plug instead.

I guess I’m one of the 1/10 because I put the fuse back in 🤷🏻‍♂️

I pulled the fuse when I installed my AWE track exhaust because it felt too loud, but now that I'm used to it, even after downpipe, my exhaust sounds too quiet. Maybe it's time to put the fuse back in and see how it sounds

You could also remove some of the interior carpet/sound insulation. The two bulkhead panels, the one top of of the engine and the one behind the seats, have thick layers of insulation. Removing one or both should let more sound into the cabin and you'll reduce some weight too. My guess is removing the panel behind the seats will let in more exhaust noise and the one on top of the engine would let in some more intake noises.
