Tesla Model 3 THOR Speaker Exhaust System Review! (Echo Speaker Upgrade)
My Tesla referral code can save you £500 on your new Tesla 👍 ts.la/tim721243
Thor Triple Exhaust speaker system with Echo speaker..
At the start of 2021 I created Chargeheads to essentially get more car enthusiasts into electric cars. An Electric Petrolhead if you like....A CHARGEHEAD!!!!
To start I decided to do an EV conversion and went on an amazing journey visiting many of the big companies in this field.
I selected the not so well known TVR Tasmin 350i, AKA the Wedge (#tvrwedgee ) to electrify after careful consideration of other cars. As I already had a TVR Griffith which I enjoyed driving and with my passion for raw, powerful, tail happy cars with no driver aids TVR was the obvious choice when selecting a car to electrify.
The 2nd build is the #SpecialTrikee project a 1970's BSA Aerial 3 Tricycle Scooter that me and my mate Vinny have turned into a e-Trike. I use this for local trips and it's a load of fun. Mrs Chargehead calls it my special scooter.....that originally had a 50cc two stroke motor and has a 250 watt motor in it, of course.
The Latest project is Rustee #RusteeTesla the Tesla build to make a Model 3 Long Range....well.....better! Better in looks, handling and performance while keeping her a monster mile daily and the efficiency intact. Focusing again on modifying with used parts to keep it green, where possible.
I hope to not only entertain with ChargeheadsUK Channel and the #TVRWedgee, #SpecialTrikee and #RusteeTesla builds, but also to inspire watchers to create their own greener transport.
With the help of leaders in their field like Ralph Hosier (Engineer, designer, builder of special vehicles, teacher, writer, TV presenter and trouble maker.
Ralph teaches Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Training (IMI Techsafe), builds some amazing one off projects and most of all is a top bloke!
He's the engineer behind #TVRWedgee the Electric TVR.
So let the fun begin......safely in a controlled environment using the right EV safety equipment! ;0)
Did I mention myself and Ralph have also done an EV Conversion safety video as well.

Good interesting episode again thanks guys! Just a bit of feedback to Alex - not sure quite how this was happening but when he was moving his hands from them being on his desk or whatever it was, it kept making crashing sounds. But still a good show 👍
@@matthewlewis6653 i'll feed that back, thanks Matthew. Glad you liked thr Live 👍👍
Plenty of second gen leafs around with well over 100k on them with good battery health.
@@FamilyMorcChannel i wouldnt trust a Leaf battery with that mileage personally
Interesting. What happens with the road tax once V5 changed... EVs were free, but that is changing in April (Thanks Labour) but how much will a non-historic vehicle cost from April? Let's say a 1990-2015 car converted to EV?
@@willdatsun good point, not sure
A big yes for me, bought a 3-year-old e208 13 months ago, no bad surprises and added 30,000Km to it just like that.
@@jbmaru nice work
I personally like the wood trim. It's like a Japanese minimalist style.
0:20 aaaah i see best ev ever - egolf!
Good bloody effort that day 💯
@@chargeheadsuk do you have results? I really want to see that
@stajpi unfortunately not, reach out to John Chambers he might have them.
Posso fare una domanda ma il boost di 50 cavalli si attiva collegando il modulo o va attivato da app ingenext
How would you make it mimic gear changes?
@@connorzinn9033 it just changes gear at certain speeds etc I guess. Will propably add it to be honest
Even with he stock pedestrian speaker, I've had multiple pedestrians not hear me in car parks etc. Something a bit louder certainly a useful thing (although Tesla could do this with a software update)
@@Rabs73 that, is really interesting to know. Thanks for sharing. You can have the same sound on different settings, sport, city and own so can be easily made to the desired noise level. Looking forward to when someone says, give it a rev 😉
Nice vid! I thought about getting something like this for my Tacoma. Just for the Lulz as I pull in with friends around. lol. But $1200 for a kit, or even $700 for the OBD2 module alone is a bit steep for a meme. Also, as a Canadian. I thought the UK roads were amazing! Clean and well kept. Tho a bit too narrow with no ditches. But again, I do compare to Canada, where I drive a truck partially because I have to! lol.
@@mbladeakita9173 a truck in the UK is ok if you have a gen 1 hilux, however thr lanes can get a bit narrow, especially in the countryside.
How to get laughed at by an ice driver or many ev drivers, tacky sorry 😞
@@robertknowles3365 don't be sorry, I'm thinking some of the sounds at a certain volume level is pretty much the same as official EV noises at low speed. Monkey noises completely useless yes, horse noise and others hilarious 🤭
Why promote being obnoxious. Appreciate the pleasant quietness of a Tesla.
@@GWAForUTBE useful in a busy carpark when pedestrians they cant hear you
Not for me but I know there will be people who will really appreciate this. Quieter the better for me. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Yorkshire-z5v I like the flexibility of on or off
Awesome
It’s definitely a fun option. I think Porsche has the best artificial noise on there taycan… bmw not so much sorry bmw & hans zimmer. I think manufacturers should consider something like this as it’s actually the noise of the car! ua-cam.com/video/DMCDJ-FRDRA/v-deo.html
@@UA-camdotcomma initially good noise, but i think id want to turn off on a long drive.
I have always wanted this. The Hyundai Ioniq 5N noises are well executed but sound like they’re from an 80s driving game. This seems like they have plenty of choice. I want to hear what it sounds like under load and accelerating with gear changes. That would sell me on an expensive system like this.
@@ChromeFlakes ill do some drivebys at some point and look into the gear changes 😉
Thanks for the review, awaiting more insight, especially how the exhaust behaves at speed and how it reacts to speed changes
@@Rei_n1 will do. Its ok, id say it runs out to eaely though if you catch my drift
Thanks for review. Def not for me and hopefully no one in my local area. Everytime a boy racer goes by, I dream of a quieter EV future. I can imagine how interal audio for power and regen feedback would be helpful for hypermiling, especially for us limited by the range of our vans.
If you accidentally cross the dotted line, can it do the pacman sound? Wokka wokka wokka.
@@PWN-E sorry Fuzzy, but no
Amazing! Love it. Can’t wait to take delivery of my SE Exclusive 😊 forget the list price just look for lease deals can get these for around £250 a month 🎉
@@adey1970 wow! That sounds value
Too bad you can't download your own sound files! I'd have "ICE, ICE, Baby..." 😉
@@aussie2uGA i can think of a few good ones too, so agreed it is a shame
I'm installing a "SoundRacer EVSMA-1" to my Evora EV and you can download any sound to that one but is is a little involved and also not App based. Not one for engine sounds so going for turbine/spaceship sounds!
I am really struggling to understand the point of this? It just seems like it’s something a child would want on their toy car, I just find it embarrassing, that’s just my opinion though. Each to their own!
I agree. Maybe if someone was forced to buy an EV against their will, then maybe childishly they would install this
Exactly. It's something a child would want. You solved your own struggle 😂
I would also deaktivate all artificial sounds on ice cars if possible. There is a lot nowadays. Even something like an M3 sound weird because they did something to overcome cabin dampening.
@@Nordlicht05 manufacturers in the EU are forced to do it because of the exhaust noise regulations, so they try and “improve” things by piping artificial noise into the cabin….
@Osmosis909 I know but these cars aren't silent. The cabins and engines have also very good dampening.
Must be my age, I'm just not getting it 😅 I'd be more inter in reducing road noise inside the cabin
@@PropertyAtAuction its a bit of fun, safety a bit and bear in mind It's to promote Chargeheads UA-cam channel. 😉
@chargeheadsuk understand that completely
I managed to get my hands on the demo one in my country at my local dealer for £33k (brand new was £43k) due to us buying our last 5 cars from them 🫣 it’s the the same as the one you tested (JCW, level 3), but in chilli red with black stripes and I love it! Sold my old Mini SE ‘21 and had to add bit over £17k to get it, which was the greatest deal of my life if I’m being honest, for this car, especially with the highest level specs. I’m a bit biased as I’ve only ever had Minis, but we also have a BMW iX at home and honestly, I prefer my Mini 100% more. I love the noises, love that it’s small, especially for driving in the city. It’s a huge upgrade both in range, looks and specs from my old SE.
@@InaBambina007 its a really fun car 100%
Shouldn't it be twelve inches?
If you want to find out more about the T5 electric conversion. I went to Instagram to look at it, but that’s a head f so why is the guy not keen on putting up a video on UA-cam or something? I’d love to know how he did the whole thing and put the battery in
@@jornramel5094 Hazel Nuts channel are doing a video on a similar conversion if you want to check it out.
Those wheels are shockingly ugly.
@@jaymakesvideo beauty is in the eye of the beholder
@ I respect it. It’s your car, still a lovely car regardless
Im not sure if anyone has posted this, but as a tesla S4 tech that rear knuckle bush is not serviceable or sold separately. I very much doubt anywhere replaces them.
@@b4b516 thanks for your comment. Cleevely EV said they could, UK garage.
I think those wheel covers look great. Where can I get some?
Blimey. I'm collecting a 22/22 Long Range next week. Blue, less than 15,000 miles, £26495. Thanks for the very informative video.
@@djwarren5081 happy to help. Rustee will have done 120,000 miles soon, so update coming 😀
Hello, thanks for the video, I am from Turkiye and we have only Tesla Model Y here and its power is restricted to 160 kW due to taxes to be lower. Rear wheel drive Model Y comes with 4D3-B which has 160 kW and 420 nm and as I know these motors are actually 220 kW but limited to 160 kW as software, I have done a research about unlocking the power limit but I couldn't find anything except Teslogic but they are not working on Model Y SR. Does this company do a research about these limited Teslas?
@@MCosan not sure buddy, contact them direct to see if they can unlock thr power! 😉💪⚡️
How much all in to do that awesome mod sir???😮😅
@@adrianmonk68 best to contact your local TopGear dealer. 😉
well if its below 32 degrees.....it would be even worst
Unless it has SpeedyGonzales and Roadrunner effects I'm just not interested 😂

After 20+ years of BMW constant proactive maintenance and repairs, I wanted a zero maintenance powertrain. The Tesla Model 3 provided exactly that. When you think of what you get from the Bev, insane performance, no noise, no vibrations, no smells, and zero maintenance, the only downside to go back to all the hassles of ice is “range”. I just don’t find range compelling enough to go back into a hybrid and have all that complexity again. The supercharger network has been wonderful, already have 140,000mi on the Model 3 and travel frequently between 4 states. I think hybrids are the short gap answer for range adverse buyers now, but will be avoided on the used market in the future due to all that complexity, upkeep, and repair.
@@aussie2uGA completely agree, really enjoying my high mile Tesla Model 3 after suspension bush updates. Rustee still drives like a dream 💯
In Australia, it is possible to drive around the country in an EV, but requires a bit of planning etc. Diesel utes (pickups) are everywhere here, as people use then to row caravans, boats etc. BYD from China has recently introduced the Shark 6 phev pickup. It has a smal turbo petrol motor that charges the 30 kWh battery . It has front and rear electric motors, no drive shafts gear box etc. EV only range up to 100 kms great for around town, but can get to remote places where you don’t get EV charging. It is cheaper than the best selling diesel pickups, and it will do 0-60 mph under 6 seconds. Bring it on if it gets the diesels off the road.
Or the monster v8 petrol American utes. Absolutely everywhere now
If it's so efficient you get 4.5 miles/kwh, why not chuck the engine and fuel tank and put in a bigger battery with faster charging with the saved weight.
I like the new lights
@@JamesBrown-wz2zd looks like the new ones are winning
Keep the clear lights 👍🏻 Much cleaner look
@@TheKingofging reflectors where the exhausts were, i'm thinking 🤭
I would highly recommend the Highland suspension on older model 3s.
@@mrlimey2419 is it direct fit? Its the KYB brand isnt it?
@chargeheadsuk Genuine OEM Tesla parts from the highland. Ordered and supplied by Tesla, but not fitted. Direct fit. Add the Hankook tyres and it's quieter and it's highland quietness + ride. Keep up the good work.
@mrlimey2419 interesting, thanks for the info. Cheers 🍻
Put the original rear lights back on.

These were top of the list for when the time came. I think I'll have to start pricing these up sooner now though..... Thanks Tim.

Not done any spirited driving yet, will wait to they've done 500 to wear them in a bit then I'll give it some pasty so I can give a decent review. Even the Mrs says theyre better 😉
