| its impossible to make it sound like a V8 unless it is a V8, all you can do is make it louder whick makes it easy to hear the stock or thrashed motor from further away. But best is take your pipe off if you got extractors or cut it if you have a manifold like already stated. |

An exhaust manifold is the outlet from the motor to the exhaust pipe, they come out standard on cars and people pretty much throw em away.
Extractors/headers are pretty much an extended manifold. They have longer single pipes from each cylinder which reduce exhaust back pressure on the motor. They come in a few configurations for 4cyl & V8: 4 pipes to 2 pipes to 1 (4-2-1) used for street performance and economy, or 4-1 which is basically suited to all out performance where cars have a high rpm range making them useless to mild to warm motors. Brand new extractors can be costly so get a second hand set.
6cyl come in 6-1, 6-3-1 or 6-2-1, going from hi-po to economy in that order.
Keep learning dude
sorry for the long post |
