I'm changing my exhaust system soon to some stainless mufflers for a cleaner sound. So I got bored and recorded the sound of my car under acceleration. Heres some clips:

First is just some acceleration.

Second is slowing down with some exhaust crackle and a quick hit.

Third is hard acceleration first and second gear.
