I've never seen this. Don't understand the language so no idea if this is just an RMB or more. Sounds better under load (and motion adds something) than revving at idle. Hope that isn't his horn.

Sounds like my S4 RMB, I think. I do love that sound...

RMB + maybe X-pipe

Capt, me thinks I should do a drive by sometime.

I only have, I think, an idle track. And you ube isn't getting it.

But as a bazillion threads show, its all subjective.

To me, it is too open, that low rpm tone is the euro equivalent of a fart can. Sounds awesome singing over 4K, but muddy and lame down low.

To me. Just to me, I'm sayin.

LOL...after watching this I called Tom at 928 Intl and ordered an RMB. This is my birthday present Order confirmation received.

I actually like the stock rumble at idle, but when flooring it the sound is either too quiet or sounds "high performance" in a police cruiser kind of way - especially when it kicks down. I didn't go for the stainless steel...just in case it's not really my thing. Perfect b-day gift as I don't often buy things for the car that it doesn't need.

Check this out, notice how fast the engine accelerates.

Having had a Crown Vic Interceptor, I know that sound well. Of course, part of that was the fact the air inlet was straight, without sound baffles. That made a big difference on those cars. But the exhaust was pretty good sounding too.

Congrats on your purchase

That sounds very similar to my 88. I had Sean Ratts take off my cats and old x pipe and rear muffler for a new x pipe and RMB and replaced the stock small resonators with large resonators off an earlier 928. The larger resonators give a deeper sound and don't drone - but it is definitely loud at WOT!

Captain_Slow

I am lucky...mine is an early 88 and has the larger resonators. I don't think I'd have gotten the RMB if the car had the smaller resonators.

I'm partial to the 16V's myself.....

Good move Jon.

My 16V Euro on exhaust iteration #8 definitely sounded better, for street sound, than any 32V I've heard.

S4s with some variant of cats/mufflers up front, the large mufflers and RMB are a great balance, sound very authoritative.
Don't like the low/mid rpm blatting that comes with catless & RMB though.

For street driven cars, with basically stock power levels, tuning the output or the sound to be optimized for the 5-6K range, when suffering side effects in the normal operating range, seems a posermod. Lou's car was definitely built for kicking up a ruckus and did its share of track/performance events. I don't think it was a DD.
Of course, with a highly built 6.5L the adrenalin factor tips the balance and the aforementioned...

Steve, I know what you mean by the blatting and "too open" sound. I don't want it to get a ton of attention just for being loud. Attention for sounding good is great. Hopefully, with stock H/cats and larger resonators it will be the best it can be with an RMB. I'm thinking down the road after taking care of more important things (unsticking frozen front ride height adjusters, setting ride height, fresh alignment, fix leaking AC, and weeping torque converter seal(s)), then I'll consider an X-pipe and high flow cats -- and putting back the stock muffler.

+928.

Not sure which one I have (I have the stock resonator), but with the RMB it is just perfect!
To me anyway.
