Someone want to explain what a "sound generator" is?
Surprised they decided to put run flats on the car too.

A "sound generator" is something that generates sound. Duh.
Ok, it's actually a new thing a few car makers are trying. They pump "white noise" through the stereo that's at the correct frequency to "enhance" the engine noise inside the cabin.

my RD is still on a "patched/welded" and leak free stock sejong exhaust, with new mid pipes, and fatmat on the firewall and hood.
i wish the GC's had more aluminum in their suspension, but the underbody panels are a very welcome upgrade.
run flat rollers are a fail, owner either lazy or dont have AAA or full trunk, convenience is the only merit but RFT's are pricey, ride rock hard and dont last for sh*t..and the super thick stiff sidewalls guarantee your tire tech will be throwing profanities with the mount/dismount process.
sound generator..more like artificially enhancing the driving experience..cough.. bmw..cough.
why not just punch a hole in the firewall and let the intake pipe cross through so you can hear it?
