In Sept 2018 the new WLTP (World harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure) was imposed as a result of the VW emissions cheating scandal.
The WLTP rules compel all car manufacturers to ensure that their vehicles comply rigidly with worldwide harmonised noise regulations. The practical result is that cars manufactured after this date are significantly quieter. And... the simultaneous imposition of particulate filters makes them quieter still.
For many citizens this is desirable, but for enthusiast drivers, the sound is an important element of the experience and almost no one wants a silent Sports Car (even electric vehicles are being saddled with artificial soundtracks).
The QuickSilver 'Sound Architect exhaust for the Yaris GR should please all enthusiasts with its bass-heavy presence and rising note under acceleration - With nice turbo wheezes, even Tommi Mäkinen would be satisfied.
What is the Sound Architect™?
Have you ever had the need, or want, to turn your Sport exhaust's sound down to a more discreet level? Or, to make it race car loud - at the touch of a button?
With QuickSilver’s Sound Architect™, we provide you, the driver, with a personal choice – allowing you to select the appropriate soundtrack for your car and tailor that sound to suit the moment.
For your vehicle, we have analysed the sound to determine which elements should be suppressed and enhanced. The result is a superior exhaust note that amplifies the pleasure of driving.
QuickSilver's Sound Architect™ comprises two separate gas paths and an electronic valve to determine which is taken - Sport or Refined. This valve is controlled either by the QuickSilver Sound Architect™ APP, on the driver's smart device, or in many cases integrated into the car's existing controls.
Where appropriate, our sound module connects to an existing accessory socket and is then controlled wirelessly via the Sound Architect™ APP - there is no intrusion into any of the car's existing systems - It could not be simpler.
The QuickSilver Sound Architect™ systems are truly 'plug & play'.
- Sport sound at a touch of a button, suited to every environment.
- Titanium Ultralight
- Works in relation to throttle position.
