An rx7 might have the best exhaust notes ?
There's nothing like a 3 rotor screaming at 10K.



Don't forget about the vw VR6. :rockon:
They are one of the best sounding V6's out there but an absolute nightmare to work on. In a close second for best sounding v6 would have to be the 95-96 Taurus SHO.

First time I heard a vr6 I was like WTF is that!! Then I bought one a few weeks later, only to realize the rest of the car is a POS. But that exhaust note though ???

Have Ford's Performance exhaust, as made by Borla. It is louder than I would like, but as it is aging, it is getting a bit more mellow.

The VR6's GTI's were quick no doubt, but if you want to talk about a rocket sled.. heh..

Take the 3.2L 24v Vr6, add a turbo kit to it with tune that produces an easy 350hp and drop that beast into a Mk1 or Mk2 rabbit.

Can you say WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

One of the local VW club members in Houston built one up. It only weighed 1900 ish pounds with a full interior and 4dynoed at 360hp 380 lbs/tq to the wheels, and Let me tell you it was plain stupid fast!

I'm sure you're familiar with this one, his was pretty much the same.

Some cool fact about the 12v vr6 is it was originally going to be a diesel which is why it has a flat firing deck cylinder head but then they decided to make it a gasser. So the internals and block were incredibly stout.

Got my AFE decatted downpipe on yesterday. Paired to an AFE muffler delete. If anyone wondered what these trucks sounded like straight piped... here you go.

Cold start

Thats disgusting. I love it!
I showed my brother who grew up in the 513 area..... He and I both concur, we expect nothing less from those losers(the ones filling someones exhaust with expanding foam)

Round of applause ??

maybe they’ll get my straight piped 700hp 100% illegal Mercedes while they’re at it ??‍♂
What I want to know is how you will get it to pass a CARB smog test. Sacramento is really starting to crack down on street racers and the loud modified exhaust. I noticed you waited until it was out of warranty to make those changes. And yes, IMO is sounds like a ricer, but I am old school and like a deep throaty sound without the popcorn decell.
