MeanMachine's SLK55 meets the Babyaston

Hello Guy's,

A couple of days ago me and my friend fellow member "THE_BOSS" got together to shoot this video to compare the sound of his gorgeous 06 Giallo Modena "Ferrari Yellow" Aston Martin V8 Vantage with my baby monster also known as MeanMachine SLK55.

Note the SLK has some changes to the exhaust which makes it sound brutal and deeper than the OEM setup.

I hope you enjoy watching this video, honestly both cars sound spectacular in person but it depends later on as the V8 vantage has that high whiney rasp to it whilst the SLK has that deep burble/growl.

I cant imagine how loud and aggressive the V8 Vantage would sound if it sported a set of Quicksilver exhausts though the only drawback is that the warranty doesnt end until 2 more years.

I just wished the AMV8 is slightly faster and I find it to be one of the best cars to drive in the market interms of handling and sporty feel.

I hope to get more video's or gathering pictures together in the near future, for more videos click on my Youtube username to see other Exhaust videos.

SLK is faster right?

Exhausts on DB9's and AMV8s sound down right scary
