What do you get when you cross an E30 and a Ford V8 running nearly no exhaust at all?

That needs an exhaust, theres no tone and sounds a bit farty.

Dont get me wrong its cool, but it is just noise

Straight pipe V8's are the best type of V8 :D I think the tone is awesome reminds me of a hot rod

Of course, but it has to be the right type of V8

Assuming as described its a 5.0 Ford V8, typically they are the V8s out of explorers/wet mustangs..

Zoomies or open headers in a typical hot rod/muscle motor totally different



Likewise a M60/2/S62 would sound shit on a open exhaust

I don't think a v8 can sound shit, no matter what exhaust. A propper system makes it sound refined and less awesome but I guess its more practical :P
