Exhaust sound question..?

[quickblue302]

How come our cars equipped with " exhaust " ie " x or H pipes, headers, or your choice of mufflers, cats or no cats, don't sound like our Cobra, Mach 1 or marauder counterparts?

Would someone post up some videos of a "nasty" sounding Mark?

And yes, I know mustangs have a more aggressive exhaust cam and deferent intake. Lol

Pipe length and muffler placement have a lot to do with it on top of most Marks being automatic.

My car has the 2 - manifold mounted cats, and x pipe, and then two small case Magnaflows. It's ridiculously quiet for the setup, I think.

I'm guessing the cats are quite restrictive. I did have the car without mufflers for a short time and it sounded awesome. Too loud for DD, but some smaller resonators would've been just right. That's the long-term plan for the exhaust on my car along with either LT or Kooks.

Yeah there's a huge sound difference between mufflers mounted in front of the axle with 3 feet of tail pipe following opposed to mufflers mounted at the back bumper with no tail pipes.

I am thinking of using 3" oval from the outlet of the X pipe to mitered 45 mandlebends then slice it and insert about 3 or 4 baffles staggered and with holes in the baffles making a sound suppressor to the front of the diff. then use 2 1/2 tubing to the back bumper. doing away with the rear mufflers. should make it sound different for sure. sonic waves are sure to be mixed up. might sound like a steam kolepie (?) will see what happens. UNLESS Michael vetoes the idea. we removed one x pipe when we installed the headers. going to slice the 3" with a cut off disc then slide the baffles into the sides and weld them. check our post on the 97 EVERGREEN and IVORY.JD

This is not my best run and I loss but it was filmed by Trunk Monkey and it captures the sound of my Mark better than any other video. He was there to film robertP's Red thunderbird. It was his first run in the 10's. After the run they were a little upset that all you could hear was my Mark. Hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5m6rbBE-1s&list=TLB1Iay5eorvk

I really like how big single exhaust sounds with just a bullet type muffler dumped under the car..it really screams at high rpm..I remember reading somewhere thay burbanks car has a Y pipe into a single 3"-3.5" exhaust with no tail pipes.
