      @@Shmee150 i read that OPF is only mandatory with direct injection and that lambo doesn't have direct injection like all the other cars but injects the gas in front of the inlet-valves like most motorcycle engines so it doesn't need an OPF. No idea if that is true though... 😁

      In Germany it is like this:
      As a car maker, if your total output of cars is below 10.000 in a year.
      it is not mandated that you need to use an OPF and you can also have a loud exhaust in general.
      they are called "Kleinserienhersteller"(translates roughly to "Small series manufacturer" somthing like that)
      at least that is what i read some time ago in a german car magazine.
      e.g. Lamborghini sold 7.430 cars in total in 2020.
      And i believe even less in 2021 considering the current state of the world.

    I think you need to get them all away from the walls in the same position to get a real reading, the different tones and how they resonate and bounce off the walls and other materials behind the cars will make a big difference, cool still.

  • @xyroah
    @xyroah 3 роки тому +2

    I think the lt was a bit too close to the wall so the sound just resonated a bit which meant that the reading was a bit higher but regardless very very impressive! My favorite was the gt8 for sure
    Also the smoke was probably because the cats were cold. When the cats are cold, the metal inside is also cold which means no reaction takes place resulting in smoke...when the car gets relatively warm it should stop

    Keep in mind you were also measuring A weighted as opposed to C weighted. A weighted gives less weight to lower frequencies (similar to how our ears perceive sound) while C weighted measures "true" sound without discriminating against lower frequencies. The results would likely be a bit different if you measured C weighted. A is more common for general noises/music while C is often used specifically around low frequencies like explosions and engines. Just because we can't hear those lower frequencies as well doesn't mean we can't feel them :)
