"GT2 Muffler made to satisfy the want for quick throttle response and to effectively handle the rigorous demands of high-horsepower engines. This muffler also has a very nice deep strong tone sound, not loud but noticable, able to gain 5-8 more horse power!"
That's funny! 5-8 more horsepower! Those are probably all from the stickers included in the kit!!!!

Just for clarification, the reason rice sounds like rice it because it has a 180deg 4 cylinder. The tone is mostly due to the frequency of the power pules moving down the exhaust tract. It's also why American V8's sound deeper whereas many high end European V8's sound more high pitched and racey. American V8's use a 90deg dual plane crankshaft, so there's a power pulse every 90deg of crankshaft rotation, some of the European V8's like Ferraris for example, actually use a 180deg single plane crankshft, so even though it's a V8 it has a power pulse every 180deg of crankshaft rotation much like a typical 4 cylinder, only it's a V8. That's why Ferrari V8's have a very distinct sound when compared to an American V8. So no matter what you did you could never get a 4 banger to sound like an American V8, and an American V8 would never sound like a 4 banger. That being said, I've heard plenty of V8's that sounded like crap
