They don't really sound like a V8. But they do have a very insane tone to them when open.

[Jean]

Poor mic lol

[mcr_driver]

what was up with the sound?

[e30drop]

It was too damn loud lol!! That was the Mic on my macbook, hope it still works lol. It was really really loud so it probably got all distorted :)

[rede30]

I drove an automatic 4dr that i just finished around yesterday with no exhaust. It never gets old. Now i am going to place the exhaust back on and hope my welds are straight.

Turn down your input level, you're clipping like a motherfucker.

I don't think the M20 sounds that great with no exhaust, actually almost annoying. The same can be said for the 4.0L I6 in my Jeep, I ran it with nothing after the cat when I was installing my Dynomax cat-back, it didn't really sound that good, just loud.

Now the 4.9L V8 in my '93 Cadillac Coupe DeVille - ran that with no cat, when we were replacing it.... that was quite epic. The 4.9 already has a rather raspy, rough sound (nice) and with open exhaust reminded me of a stock car.

And yes, it is defining loud when next to the exhaust, I don't think my Cannon digital camera has mic level adjustment. I wanted to do it at night to see the flames coming out of the manifolds but I -really- don't think the neighbors would like that.

Transmission is in gear (not sure which - shifter is out) and is supported only by a bottle jack.







VS:







Those last 3 videos were taken back in April (others were recent) In the last 3, the car still had the original cap and rotor that worn well worn down. I have since replaced them, but the car was already undergoing heavy maintenace. Even then, the engine sounded stronger, started faster and revved more freely. I still have new wires to install, as they are original too.

[Vethen]

Lol, that was awesome.

Beast. Sounds great. I have been thinking of chopping my cat off and mufflers and running straight pipes back to a pair of Borla mufflers i have. Any ideas if this will sound good? Good idea/bad idea, what you think.
