Coming from a scat pack, I sometimes miss the obnoxiousness. Having the option to go from refined to obnoxious would be lovely

Yeah my wife jokingly mocks me for how sensitive I am to very low frequency sounds (resonating bass, drone, etc), but at the same time LOVE the sound of a loud V8. I took the chance with Novel assuming there might be some mild droning with the valves open but can close them when it gets to be too much during a drive. You can just imagine the smile on my face when I realized there is zero drone even with the valves open. Price tag hurts a lot, but then again that's the reason they cost 3-5x more than the other systems.

the novels sound amazing. that price tag is serious, but i am def checking it out. with the valves closed is exactly how i was hoping it would sound for early morning cold starts etc. no drone with them open is crazy. sounds like novel know what they are doing

Okay yeah, this carries a lot of weight with me! Novel is in the running. 😎
