Let’s take a detailed look at its features:

1. Futuristic and authentic sound packages

The Thor app features 2 different sound packages. One is synthesized by the Thor team specifically for electric vehicles (EVs) to generate futuristic sounds like UFO, Cyberpunk, and Scarlet. While the other includes sounds recorded from real cars brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, etc.

2. Regular sound updates

4. Stainless steel body

The sound generator is made of stainless steel. This keeps it away from moisture, debris etc on the road and gives you a 10+ year service life. 

5. Guaranteed compatibility

Thor car exhaust system is compatible with all the vehicles from 2005 onwards, including EVs, diesel, and gasoline ones. It can be easily installed on your vehicles and can even be reinstalled on another car.

The three types of Thor exhaust system

The Thor exhaust system comes in 3 levels. Each one of them gradually eases you in the world of more powerful exhausts, going up from level 1 to level 3. As you go up the level, the sound volume and quality keep on increasing.

Here’s an explanation of three types of exhaust system manufactured by Thor:

1. Level 1

At level 1, you can get either only the storm speaker or a combined package of the Thor sound exhaust system consisting of a speaker and an echo (control unit is included in both).

The level 1 speaker is an affordable entry point for new users. It produces base level sound effects with 95dB (without echo) and 105dB (with echo). Though the exhaust power may be less than the advanced levels, its futuristic sound quality is on the same level. 

2. Level 2

Level 2 exhaust system takes things up a notch. Though the sound levels remain the same, you get at least 10% more powerful exhaust. You can find a package with echo and one without echo at this level too. 

This level of Thor electronic exhaust system is for those seeking a richer and more prominent sound effect. The quality gets even better with the addition of an echo. 

3. Level 3

Level 3 is the flagship model of the Thor exhaust system and offers the maximum exhaust power. With sounds as high as 110dB (without echo) and 115dB (with echo), they give you the best experience. 

This level offers deep and loud sound with maximum depth, perfect for those looking for a real sports car experience. 

Thor exhaust installation guide

Thor exhaust is designed for easy installation and quick connection with your car. The process is quite straightforward. First, you mount the sound generator and then connect the control unit to the car's CAN-Bus system. Nevertheless, it is advised to let professionals handle it. 

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install Thor exhaust system:

Step 1: Pre-installation check

Before getting started with the installation process, run a check on the exhaust system. Temporary connect it to your car’s CAN-Bus and power connection points and start the car. 

If the system works perfectly, then proceed with the Thor exhaust installation. But if it doesn’t, contact your seller or Thor technical support.

Step 2: Mount the speaker

The Thor exhaust system comes with a universal bracket kit. Use these brackets as a stiffener to attach the speaker to your car’s rear bottom. The speaker should be installed with its flare end down and in the opposite direction to the vehicle’s motion. 

If you are mounting it near the exhaust pipe, make sure to keep thermal gaps (at least 3-5 cm) and avoid contact with exhaust elements. 

Step 3: Control unit connection

Install the exhaust sound controller unit in the interior of the car (preferably in the trunk or behind the interior trim). Make sure that the control unit is disconnected and then connect it to CAN-Bus.  

Next, connect other system components. This part can be a little tricky as you have to locate the right wires to make the connection. 

Step 4: App installation

Lastly, download the Thor app on your smartphone and connect it to the speaker system via Bluetooth. Once the app detects your car’s serial number, select it and enter the required vehicle data. 

After clicking 'Save', the artificial exhaust sound system will be programmed in accordance with the car. Then, simply select the sound you want and let your car’s engine roar.
