Ran across this during an internet search. . . . this is the reason that you don't put exhaust on a 6 cylinder. . . sounds awful!!

thats about a shitty video to go off for sound though. You can make a 6 sound good. A local guy had a 6cyl. Camaro his mom had made him get instead of the V8. He modded it & had exhaust on it. It sounded almost as mean as some mild LS1's I have heard. You just gotta go about it in the right way.

I would agree with you there. . . . some six's sounds excellent (i.e. the 350Z and it's brother Infiniti). This is the only video I have found, and why it isn't the best quality it does display what i hear out of most "untuned" 6s.

I had a 4.3 S-10 with a flowmaster sounded sweet, better than Fords 4.6 V8's. But I've heard my share of crappy sounding 6's too. To each his own.

This is true. . . .but really nothing beats the sound of a V8 to me. . .and nothing at all beats the sound of a lopey big block!!

I would put the growl of a healthy inline 6 against an LSX motor any day of the week as far as aural pleasures go.

LOL - my old GTP sounded better than that, with NO exhaust on it at all haha. It actually did sound almost like a V8. I took this while in the middle of demodding it back to stock.
