V8 sound.


Yes its the odd firing order . Listen to a flat crank engine ? They sound like two - four cylinders . The Subaru boxer engine is much the same . Being unequal from cylinder exhaust from other side of engine ! More so on turbo versions ! Its kinda like a centipede with a wooded leg on V8s . 99 - plonk

 Hi norto

Hahaha, biggrin biggrin

Remember when we were kids and would put some cardboard in the spokes of our push bikes jut to try to get that noise, well what they will do to fix the above problem is for the Chinese to make a 2 cent item out of plastic that works in a similar way but when it gets to Australia it will cost us all $20.00 each.no
