I know I'm gonna get flamed and told to just buy a muscle car but I don't have the money for a muscle car, gas or insurance for a muscle car....... But is there anyway you can make a Cavis exhaust sound close to a muscle cars..... I dunno I've heard V6's sound like V8's but maybe its to much of a stretch for a 4banger..... If anyones got any info just let me know thanks

turbo with 3in exhaust, highflow cat, and 40 series Flowmaster makes mine sound gorgeous. Ask anyone that's seen it or ridden in it.

It takes time and pipes but it's been done. It's all in the acoustics. I'll have to find it but there is a special way to build the headers that make the 4 cylinder acoustics sound the same as a v8 exhaust acoustics. If I remember correctly you split the cylinders all at the port then you join the pipes like an 8-4-2-1 header system but I don't remember at all what order you do...we offer it at the shop but I never build them and we don't make much as the things are expensive but sound unbeleiveable...

turbo back 3inch with Apexi WS2 muffler....i garuntee you that if you put my car behind a screen, u wouldnt guess in a million years that it is a 4cylinder, it is beautiful...when I get my motor back in, I will post a sound clip, it sounds amazing for a 4cylinder. That is the one thing my car wouldnt ever sound like.....the usual bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, negative, not if it is going on my car, so I sought out to find a real throaty exhaust, and I think I hit it right on the head.
Those of you with the muscle car sounds....Hypsy and Fst Cavy. Let's hear it.

I posted that right after the 360 got rebuilt w/ headers in my duster. Bitch hauled till a drunk sideswiped me. I think that's the sound he's looking for and yes...it is possible.
Sorry darkstars but that sound posted is nothing like a good v-8 sound.

Well almost possible. These new aluminum blocks don't sound as low as the old iron blocks did.
And yes...that car ran cheater gas...I admit it.

Matt: how would you know? You haven't heard my car since I had the sidepipes you asshat. STFU if you don't know what your talking about. Mine is not a straight pipe either...mine was built for power.
If you doubt that mine has a nice, deep sound to it, ask Ryan (Darkstars). He's driven my car before and said it sounded pretty good. I'll see if I can get a clip though.

ok bud call me nuts but last time i checked if u took away half the motor u have half the sound.a 4 banger will not and cannot sound anywhere close to a muscle car. BUT if you have a lil time and a lil cash u can build a custom exhaust setup that will give you a wicked sound. first off stock cats are worthless as far as sound goes. so first off a new cat is a must (or cut and gut but i didnt tell ya to) second its all a matter of acoustics. if you take a stock 2.0 for example the firing order is 1 4 3 2. so if you take cylinders one and 3 and pipe them together into a single pipe using a custom one off header and do the same for 2 and 4 youll never have two cylinders pushing exhaust into the same pipe at remotely the same time. after the system is finished u can top it off w whatever ur favorite weapon of choice is as far as muffler or glass pack
as for me my car is soon to get said system built on it and no cats and dual ten inch glass packs ill let ya know how it sounds
HORN BROKEN.....WATCH FOR FINGER!!!
god i hate these posts.
if you want a V8 sound buy one, if not shut up.
or, get a really loud stereo and play v8 sounds out of it all day while you drive.

Its because V8's have a "stumble" in the firing order where instead of the opposing cylinders firing, halfway through the firing order 2 cyls on the same side fire, giving it that classic V8 sound. Assuming a 4 cyl had a V pattern, it would be l-r-l-r. Even with steep cams, it will still be sequential sounding.
I know that what I posted didn't make sense, but its late, and my brain hurts.
^^^ yeah, but how street legal is that Nova?
the TT 522 is legal.
