Sounds awsome.

Is it just me though is it odd hearing that come out of that car. I heard a loud exhaust in traffic the other day and was looking for what it was until I realized it was coming out of a G8

I know right. That's what I was saving up for before I found my Kit up for sale.

The list would be something like - intake, 224ish cam, headers, true duals, and you would need a stall too. wouldn't hurt to bump the compression up a little too.

I don't think our cars will ever sound that way for the same reason a camaro will never sound like a corvette: chassis resonance.
