And this is why I like those American V8's....

A website with sound clips. Granted, Mustangs only but still nice. Apparently the purpose is to hear what various catbacks sound like to help you decide what you'd want to buy. But for me, its all music..... And better then 90% of the shyte I can go get at Best Buy today as well!

Example of Flowmaster

 

[spidey07]

simply beautiful

As much as I love a good V8, nothing beats the scream of a Ferrari at full throttle.

Absolutely glorious.

Well, there ARE exceptions. But, the V8's sure beat the pants off those V6's and.... V4's...

I'm sorry but Flowmasters suck. It gives every car/truck/vehicle they're put on this generic crap sound. I'm a huge fan of Mustangs but Flowmasters don't make it sound good whatsoever. The distinct exhaust note of a Mustang is ruined by Crapmasters.

Ferrari's aren't really that great sounding. They're like a violin compared to a nice set of bass drums beating to a melody.

I have a short wmv clip (4.5MB) of a F355 w/Tubi exhaust at WOT. If someone wants to host it, I can send it to them.

How about Magnaflow?
The Borla is very nice too.

V8's have the only good sounding exhaust, 6 and 4 bangers should only be seen an not heard and V10's and V12's sound like a whiney b!tch.

 

[DurocShark]

Every time I hear a fart-can exhaust, I dream of a nice mustang 5.0...

My Fiero v6 sounds pretty sweet too, but just seems to be missing that deep rumble...

 

[GalvanizedYankee]

Yes they do sound sweet

In racing, back in the 80's, flat cranks were tried. Those really sounded awesome
There was no power gain so the 90degree crank was retained. The flat crank had the
V8 run as two inline fours, this permitted easier ex header construction.

Honda Si link in sig....

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Laust: aww, but I like the sound of my dad's straight 6 in his '99 Ram

 

[Quixfire]

Engine Music is another site to get good quality sound files.

The little brother (4.8)

 

[PowerMac4Ever]

Nothing sounds better than a well-tuned I6,

[upsciLLion]

How does the Renesis engine from the new RX-8 sound?

Sure, if you think pounding on a drum somehow sounds better than a Stratovarius in the hands of Itzhak Perlman.

A violin sounds nice when the note changes. Just *WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* isn't as good as *WUM*UM*UM*UM*UM*UM*UM*UM* or the gurgle of a Hemi. They just sound like a tribe on the war path going to kill something (usually your treadlife warrentee). If you've ever passed a classic car, rolled down the window, turned off the stereo, and let your foot off the gas, just to hear it go by one more time, you understand what I'm talking about.

 

[LAUST]

a REAL HEMI (426),

I disagree. I'm not even gonna reply to your V10/V12 comment. And I6's and H4's can have excellent sounding exhausts.
