What exhaust would you suggest if one is looking for a low, V8 sound? I really like the style of the Greddy Evo and the sound clips I've heard sound pretty low. Any other suggestions?

 

if you want your car to sound like a V8 then you should just run open downpipe.

That doesn't make a 4cyl car sound like a V8. Know what the *** you are talking about before you someone.

 

350+flowmaster400

 

sell ur car and get a v8.

 

A flow master might come close to the "signature V8 sound" but otherwise I have to side with the others you need a V8 to have the V8 sound.

 

uh it was a joke buddy. And the hammer wasn't to him, it was towards running dp.

 

Good luck trying to make a 4-banger honda motor sound like a V8. lol

If you don't like the way your car sounds (4cyl), then sell it. Different Engine=Diff Sound. Good luck

no he should buy a V8??:D

i think an LS1 is calling u:D

 

Just throw a V8 block in your lude, its real easy. Throw some dual flowmasters on that **** and BAMM!!! Now that would be so tight .

LS1, drool........

 

You all just ruined this freakin thread. He was asking how to make it sound deeper. Totally legit question.

Yeah,...since he wants his car to SOUND like a V8...that means he should buy one..huh??

Nice advice guys.

 

I think magnaflow makes a muff for the lude,
that's probably a deeper sound than most exhausts

 

bore your engine to 89mm and run a magnaflow

boring your engine 2mm over will actually make it a lot deeper, i was quite amazed at how deep my exhuast sounded, even with using a can style muffler

 

haha an 89mm bore just to make it sound deeper? That would be the most expensive "cosmetic" mod known to date!

 

hahaha.... i mean, think about it, deep exhuast isnt based on overall displacement, its on cylinder displacment. the 2.3L race engines my brother-in-law uses sound like beasts right, they are all deep, sound like 350s..... but yet a small bore V12 like a ferrari has is still a high pitched sound more similar to a Honda (similar in comparision to a 350, but still no where near the same, mind you)

 

yeah, our race engines at briggs and stratton are deep as hell. big bore one cylinders y0!

 

You could always reroute your exhaust piping so it had a bunch of extra bends & turns. Certainly not gonna help you in the power department, but extra bends will deepen/smooth up the exhaust note.

 

firing order and the header design have a big influence on noise

My subaru for example sounds alot more like a v8 than an inline 4 does.

But

This is largely due to the use of unequal length headers, equal length headers on a subaru boxer ej20 would make it sound alot more like a honda or a similiar inline 4

 

How would a Flowmaster sound on a Honda??? Makes me wonder...

Headers on a WRX aren't gonna change exhaust sound all that much . . . . you've still got a turbo sitting in the middle of your exhaust flow - that's where your sound quality comes from.
