One of the big things , other than price, – or lack thereof. Now, an exhaust system company has come up with a complex sound system that you can fit to your EV to make it sounds like .

Created by , the system comprises a 300-watt amplifier and dual 6x9 inch drivers that are fitted beneath the rear of the car. Once fitted, the Active Performance Sound system allows EV drivers to give their car the roar of a V8, . The site explains:

For now, the system is available just for the F-150 Lightning and for Ford’s Mustang Mach-E. The system comes pre-loaded with a few different sound profiles: a Shelby Mustang GT500, Mustang GT 5.0L, Charger SRT 392 and Corvette C8 — notably, no sound profile from an actual Ford F-150.

And the company plans on offering more than just regular engine sounds, too. Users will be able to access a sound library through an upcoming app that is “ever-expanding with internal-combustion favorites and imagined sounds of the future,” according to the company’s website. The company says it’s working with FX artists to create other more alternative sound options like jet fighters or sci-fi propulsion noises.

So if you want your to sound a bit more like a fighter jet, then you might be interested to learn how the $1,600 system all works. Well, , the system connects to the EV and collects data like throttle position, RPM, braking, motor load, wheel speed and more. This is then fed into the system’s Digital Signal Processor, which turns all that data into an engine note that changes with your driving.

TikTok user TFLstudios shared a clip of the kit in action , showing off the synthetic engine note that can be produced. In the clip, which is linked above, the system is fitted to an and it sounds fine. It’s not quite like the real thing but remains a far cry from the screech of a Formula E car.

What do you think? Would you prefer to sound like it’s got the beating heart of a Charger installed up front, or do you prefer the futuristic hum that comes with most modern EVs on sale today? Let us know in the comments below.

Comment of the Day: Sitrep Edition
It’s fun to sometimes imagine yourself in someone else’s shoes. Sometimes you just want to pretend to be, I don’t know, a nice guy who brought home a free Jeep Grand Wagoneer. And maybe you have it because you just love Jeeps so much. Like so, so much. In...

Comment of the Day: Automation Is Wage Reduction
Automation gets glorified in some circles and vilified in others, but really it’s just another management move like all the others. Which is why Jack Shaftoe’s comment on needs to be highlighted: Automation is good, automation is bad, automation is coming, so we might as well have a universal...

The (Mostly) Non-Beetle Cars of the Streets of Puebla, the VW Beetle's Final Home
I was just down in Puebla, Mexico, visiting the Volkswagen factory there (I’ll explain that more soon), and while there I found some time to explore and be your eyes, ears, and, if no one is looking, tongue, to experience the cars on the streets of Puebla. Last time,...

Wildly Improbable Nissan-on-Nissan-on-Nissan Wreck Reveals Universe to Be a Simulation
Wildly Improbable Nissan-on-Nissan-on-Nissan Wreck Reveals Universe to Be a Simulation
There’s all kinds of theories floating around now that reality, the place where you sleep and pee and buy lunch, may in fact be a simulation of some sort, run on some vast, unknowable computer. Even I normally am pretty dismissive of this idea, at least until I saw...
