Default Baby Monster "SLK55" meets the Baby Aston "AMV8"

Hello Guy's,

A couple of days ago me and my friend got together to shoot this video to compare the sound of the gorgeous Aston Martin V8 Vantage with my baby monster also known as MeanMachine SLK55.

Note the SLK has some changes to the exhaust which makes it sound brutal and deeper than the OEM setup.

I hope you enjoy watching this video, honestly both cars sound spectacular in person but it depends later on as the V8 vantage has that high whiney rasp to it whilst the SLK has that deep burble/growl.

I just wished the AMV8 is slightly faster and I find it to be one of the best cars to drive in the market interms of handling and sporty feel.

I hope to get more video's or gathering pictures together in the near future, for more videos click on my Youtube username to see other Exhaust videos.

The modified exhausts of the 55 has a deeper growl and sounds quite menacing.

Thank you, I try to make it even better.

I someday aspire for a hardcore track ready SLK55 with a 6.1S Brabus conversion, SuperSprint headers, Supersprint cats, kleemann rear cats, SuperSprint X pipe, Renntech CF airbox, Evo sport U/D's and a combo of Carlsson suspension with Ultra Legga O.Z's in 18" though we have many responsabilities and needs that come infront of our wants. This might be a dream but I can imagine it allright

The Aston has the presence and its very very flashy especially in Ferrari Yellow which is a custom order.
