If aggressively downshifting in a supercar is your “thing”, then getting one of these custom exhaust systems from Armytrix is probably a nice way to quench your thirst for noise.

It’s also guaranteed o attract attention, which is part of the reason why people tend to make their cars louder. On one hand, your grin is getting extra large because of the much-improved note when accelerating or laying off the throttle, and on the other, you know bystanders are turning their heads – either to cherish or disapprove, depending on how they feel about loud cars.

We’ve seen what Armytrix can do for modestly-powered saloons like the BMW 320i or the C250 Merc, and we’ve also heard and marveled at what they pulled off when it comes to supercars like the Ferrari F12 – which puts something like the Carrera GTS somewhere in the middle.

This is more of a presentation video than a straight out demonstration, but the latter does come about half way through and you get to listen to the GTS rev its engine with the exhaust valves opened as well as closed.

Needless to say, this thing sounded good either way, but there’s a much louder crackle when you activate the system, and to some people, that’s the whole point.
