Don't compare what you drive to every other 4cyl in existance. There are plenty of sweet sounding ones in existance. Mostly of the Side Draught Carby fed ones.

We use to run a ski boat with a 420 small block running Duggan alloy heads & Duggan fuel injection, extractors were 2 3/4 stainless into a single 1.3mtr x 6" water cooled exhaust and that was the best sound I've ever heard.
Also ran a Hemi BB in a 69 Dart that sounded the goods too.

speaking of induction noise and stiffy inducing things..... a Cooper S mini with a rather large side draught webber that actually sticks into the cab and is only seperated from you by a flimsy piece of sheet metal is a sound that gets movement happening too!!

Give me a quiteish exhaust with a good induction noise when you really give it some stick over any loud exhaust.

You'd love the lexus motor in my hilux then. I run a pod filter on the AFM and its loud as when the loud pedal is pushed and easily drowns out the exhaust

Oh and there is no box or snorkel to silence it any

a well worked v8 will win induction and exhaust note everytime, but u really cnt go past a 600 cat or 650 signature fully loaded with 10in stacks and twin aircleaners for noise, feel it in ur spine. 500ci mack v8s arnt to bad either

OK ... got it running through my Quads (well ... twin stereo ... )

Sounds like it's going through the lounge, out into the kitchen and back again

oooohhh yeeahhh!

dog's gone right up the back corner of the yard ...

call me weird but i reckon the sound of a mitsubitshi v6 3.0 or 3.5l with a good exhoust sound very nice. real snarly.

oh and a old mack 290hp 6cyl with a good exoust is the best sounding six, that or a detroit.

But the one and only god of exoust notes. cat c30 v12.
ooh baby

Post by **Struth** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 9:33 pm

245 hemi with serious exhaust, they simply HOWL

But only a V8 sound speaks of big displacement,
Thers no substitute for cubic inches in the noise department.

Cheers

a tank engine at full noise. v12, 202ci per cylinder

scares the sh*t out of you when your asleep and one comes tearing in from nowhere.

I saw a doco on tanks and they do rock. Nothing like a big detroit diesel screaming along under a 60 ton killing machine

Best exhaust notes I've heard are, in no particular order:

RB26DET Skyline
M3 BMW
Any dual plane v8 perhaps excluding the LS1
p51-Mustang

Worst is probably a draw between my old 1.3 laser after removing all the exhaust system apart from the extractors (people turned around expecting to see something powered by John Deere) and my Surf, which sounds alot like a fishing trawler.

And as for rotarys.. well, engines are meant to go up and down not round and round

Although it doesn't seem to be a really popular bike choice I almost blew my load the first time I heard a TRX 800 idling, unreal note.

When you say up and down, you really mean, start stop start stop....

NOTHING beats the sound of a angry 20B!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by **eugene** » Fri Apr 06, 2007 8:16 pm

Nothing, but nothing beats a top fuel rail!!.
Rover V8s sound o.k but they only have the sound of a V8, and the power of a 4 cylinder

luckly the engineers built in the economy of a V8 lol.

Jag V12 with a modified air intake (they were designed with a "reversed trumpet" shape to make air intake supersonic and hence quiet apparently) sounds pretty farking good.

But now I am liking the rover V8 sound too.
