    Its all opinion not fact that they sound good or awfull. Some of you ppl need to relax and accept that some may like the sound of a modified exhaust 3800.

    I will agree that a straight piped 3800 doesn't sound like a normal v6. (Probably because the displacment is bigger than the average v6) Still doesn't mean it sounds good or sound like a V8.

    Anyone who thinks it does probably also thinks their buddies Honda is insane fast....especially when you hit VTECH.... thier car also probably has a muffler which you could fit a small child in.

    So my only hope as a poor gearhead 5000 miles from America is a cam, rockers, and headers...

    Unequal length headers have a lot to do with it. True duals make a longitudinal 3800 sound very nice.

    There was a video on YouTube somewhere. Some dude made true duals for his GTP. Still sounded like a vomiting giraffe motorboating its own balls.

    Ahhhh yessssss. Here we are:
