So... yesterday on my way home from work, I was driving down the road and a v6 Accord went past me (I think it was like maybe a 99-02 model). I was doing just over the speed limit, not driving aggressively or anything. Anyway, the car had a more beefy sound than I have ever heard from any Honda. Almost sounded like a v8.

My question: Could it have been just a big turbo, or what? It's really got me curious as hell. I don't see how a v8 could be swapped in the engine bay so if anyone could offer any insight, it may cure me. Thanks in advance.

 

Have you heard of exhaust ?

Maybe open downpipe?

Turbo won't make your car sound like a V8

 

This reminded me when I ran open downpipe for a month, my security guard deemed my car the bulldozer ! That **** was loud !

so loud id have to cruise next to semi's in fear of getting pulled over by the coppers.


OP, do u drive a modded accord ? this guy prob jst had an intake/exhaust and saw u ahead of him and thought, "Im gonna show this guy whats up" and timed it just right( so he was passing at 7k screaming !).

we've all been guilty of it, at least once !

 

I just didnt think you could make a Honda sound like that. On second thought; I wish I showed him up.. we'll "take it to track" next time.

I drive a 98 base prelude w/ int. and exhaust.
