    Damn, I really wish I'd got video blasting my old Miata through a tunnel. Hadn't touched the inside of the engine, but the exhaust I built for that car sounded awesome, especially once the engine hit the sweet spot between 5,000 and 7,000 RPM. And especially in a tunnel... with the top down.

    Nice! the car came with 12 cheapo subs in the trunk, I took them out, and now I don't think I have any bass lol. How do I hook the factory mach 460 speakers back up? The blue wires that go from the head unit to the subs are still there, I don't know what to do with them now.

    Wait a minute... what did you hear? I didn't even have the radio on nor did I show the head unit haha

    The 2v motors just sound so tinny compared to a pushrod V8. The sound is really hollow. The 3v and 4v motors sound a little better, but they'll never match a good LS-series.

    Gross. I hate the sound of a 3v. I love their power bump, but I hate their engine sounds. I'll take the idle of a 2v over a 3v any day lol. And my stang has an o/r X and flowmasters, hence the raspy hollow sound haha.

    Ever heard a C6 vette with exhaust but stock cams? It sounds like shit. Almost like a diesel.

    Listen to this prime example of what i'm talking about...



    But i'll have to admit, I love LS motors for their potency for power gain with just bolt ons. I dislike the look of F bodies though. Catfish camaro's, but F body thunder chickens look alright to me. Not great, but significantly better looking than any F body camaro.

    But I'd take an 03-04 cobra over an F body anyday. Nothing beats a 4v with incredible blower whine, plus the easiness of just installing a CAI and a smaller blower pulley (+ Dyno tune) and getting massive power gains.


    Oh yeah, and if I could, i'd take a pushrod 302 from a fox or a 346 LS1 over over a 2v. But if I were to choose between the pushrod and a DOHC 4v from a termi or N/A 99/01 cobra, I'd take the latter two over the pushrod.

    Ferrari's 12 cylinder stuff sounds OK. Their F1 cars sound amazing.
    The Italians perfected engine sounds. Everything from a little 4 cyl Fiat to a v12 Ferrari sound good. Here's a quick montage of the F1 cars. My favorite is 0:48-1:10

    Gotta go with the small block Chevy pinning an 8 grand tachometer. Second place goes to a 289 or 427 Cobra. That is some screaming machinery!

    The short stroke engines have a certain appeal, though. How about the famous Honda 5 cylinder 125 and 6 cylinder 250 cc motorcycle racers? They've got to be in a class by themselves sounding like really pissed off bumble bees.
