I have 1 straight thru muffler & 1 resonator on my manual EB I6, doesn't sound too bad, but it would sound a lot better if I had a cam in the engine. It's not overly loud either. Actually sounds better since the resonator was fit, prior I was running just a cat, 1 straight thru muffler & then just pipe.
A mate of mine has an auto AU falcon I6, extractors, 1 muffler & one resonator, and it sounds really good, doesn't drone at all. It really depends on who builds the exhaust..... Cheers ToranaGuy

Quote: iirc spoondog had no mufler at all on his ef at one stage... sounded pretty bad dude.. Yep i did, when i was 18 i thought the louder it was the faster it was... how wrong was i.. it sounded like a** lol But even with 2 mufflers a high flow cat and 4480, and a 1673 cam it still sounded average from the outside, maybe with a bigger cam and headwork they would sound good, but its not worth it.

I've been wondering about the V8 sound for ages too compared to the straight 6 sound. I won't deny that the sound of a V8 idling s**t all over the sound of a 6. I have a mate with a 253 in a truck that still manages to sound good. There's one thing that I would really like explained though. A 5L has a smaller displacement per cylinder than a 6. The 302 in an EL has a capacity of 4942cc, which is 618cc/cylinder. The 4L has a capacity of 3984cc, which is 664cc/cylinder. So technically, based on volume alone, the 6 "should" sound deeper. The only advantage the 8 has is a uneven firing order compared to a 6, and add a lumpy as f**k cam to a 6 and it should sound every bit as good
But it doesnt |

Funnily enough though the heads on a V8 make a lot of difference too, ever heard those big-a** Clevo 4v heads? They sound heaps better than the 2v's which still sound good!

currently looking at a 100cpsi High Flow stainless cat and brand new pacemaker 4499's fitted for $880.. mind you that's discounted as well. seems a bit steep to me. i've already got a full 2.5" Redback catback with a muffler and resinator. sounds not to bad.

Get a hooker aerochamber off ebay for $130 (I think when I bought mine) and a 12" glass pack, then get out the mig or take it to an exhaust shop.
