EV Owner Adds Supercar Engine sounds To His MG Cyberster
Electric cars have evolved a lot over the years. In the past few years, we saw them grow faster, deliver more range and more importantly, span across segments and bodystyles. MG Motor India launched the Cyberster here in July 2025. This two-seat electric sports car impressed many with its performance and styling. Now, one of the biggest complaints people have about electric sports cars is that they lack the soul and the soundtrack that Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models deliver. To solve this, MG has given a bunch of interesting engine sound emulations on the Cyberster. A Cyberster owner from India wanted more from his electric sports car and installed an aftermarket active EV exhaust. A video of the same has now surfaced online.
This installation was done at wRapidly wraps, a customisation studio in Chandigarh. This garage is experienced in working on premium, luxury, and sports cars. The Cyberster was, however, a unique project. The video opens by showing the car- a Cyberster finished in Modern Beige (with Red roof). The owner of this car had an ‘unusual request- to give this EV a soul’. The owner wanted it to sound as sporty as it felt to drive one.
The garage realised the owner’s dream by installing the ‘Thor Active Exhaust’ on this electric sports car. EVs and exhausts? Confusing? Well, this is an electronic ‘exhaust system’ specifically developed for electric cars. It connects directly to the vehicle’s brain and emits ‘engine sounds’ through specialised speakers.
This appears to be an adaptation of the system that’s already there in the Cyberster. Instead of using the in-car speakers, this system uses two externally placed speakers to emit the sound. One can also think of this as a more interesting alternative to a conventional AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems).
The video calls the Thor active exhaust a total game-changer. It is claimed to read the vehicle’s throttle in real-time and with zero lag. This means that the driver will get a realistic sound experience, almost mimicking that of a petrol sports car.
The Cyberster’s in-built system lets you choose from just a handful of sounds. This gadget, on the other hand, offers the choice of 30+ iconic engine sounds. This Cyberster can now sound like an AMG, a Ferrari or other iconic models. A dedicated mobile application can be used to make these selections. Yes, we are talking about going from a V8 to V12 with a click or two. The application can also be used to ‘tune the exhaust’- to adjust the volume, change the tone or to enable the ‘pops and bangs’.
In one of the comments, the garage mentions that installing this device will not void the car’s warranty, as it doesn’t require you to cut any wires or to touch the main battery and associated systems. Ideally, the installation of this shouldn’t void the warranty. However, it can put you at a greater risk of getting a warranty claim rejected.
Installing this system may require custom fabrication and/or making changes to the car’s parts. The installation may also require adding non-OEM hardware, and minor wiring changes. All these can potentially put you at the risk of getting the claim rejected. Any failure linked to the installed component or stemming from changes made for the same will likely void MG’s warranty. Long story short, it is not an automatic cancellation of warranty, but installing gadgets like trhis can make your risk of rejection shoot up.
