My friend is looking into building a GT40.
We were talking about exhaust notes because, on top of being one hell of a fast sunday cruiser, he wants it to sound very sweet too. He's looking at NA, 350ci, 5/6spd, 450hp.
What are the main contributors to the exhaust note, firing order?
I heard cylinder angle, bore/stroke dimensions, and displacement were all major contributors.
Since he's looking at a cross-plane crank V8 (LSx or SBF) I suggested getting 180 degree headers (which also stays true to GT40 tradition).
Would that, no cats, into a Corsa muffler put him in a mix between exotic and muscle (exhaust)? How would a massive cam alter this? In person, how do these bundle of snake headers alter the exhaust note?
Does anyone have videos of motors running 180 degree headers?
Thanks for all the help!
