A quick video of my Z4MC with Gruppe M noise

Post by Muckinonthesofa » Mon Jul 08, 2019 6:25 pm

Thought I'd share this quick video my friend took of my Z4MC. It gives a good idea of the induction noise with a Gruppe M fitted.

Also some photos of my car and my mates 996 C4S. All in South/Mid Wales

Going by that vid, I think those that say the GruppeM is louder than the Eventuri are definitely right. I have some external vids of mine when I'm "smashing it" (technical term) and it doesn't come across anywhere near as loud as that on camera.

Was planning on ordering an eventuri this evening! Think I’m going to reconsider after hearing that! Epic sound!

I've always wondered about the Eventuri and before I bought my Gruppe M would of bought either, a Gruppe M came up at the right time so I bought one. From what I could gather the noise was similar, I'd love to hear yours if you can post the video? :thumbsup:

I've just reviewed the videos and uh, no, I really can't... :rofl: :roll:

I think mr wiks has had both and can testify to the fact that the GruppeM is a bit more shouty. From vids they'd always sounded pretty similar to me, but from your vid I'd be hard pressed to tell that apart from a proper CSL airbox. Sounds amazing!
