Yea, IDK what you're talking about. I had heard all the "usual" V6 exhausts in person and decided to never do the exhaust, until I heard the Forces. They sound awesome...you're just trippin' beacuse you also have a 5.0.

Yeah I trip too.
When I first got my exhaust done and I thought it sounded badass.
Then at a light the next day a'03 cobra pulled up next to me and I asked him to give me a rev and it sounded amazing and louder than mine too.
I then asked what he had done to the exhaust/engine...he said bone stock. []

GT/Cobra take-off mufflers... Louder than stock, but they don't have such a propensity for the "V6 rasp".

That's the biggest bull****. He has a cam by the way.

The guy doesn't know what he's talking about either...

"Nope... no bore, stroke, anything. Stock 3.8 longblock w/ ported heads, better valvesprings, and the cam. That's it engine-wise."

3.8 is a shortblock.

" Before the H/C, I made 170whp. After the dynotune from Justin @ VMP, the car made 220whp. So... I gained 50whp."

H/C means heads/cams. I'm not an expert, but 50whp is A LOT for heads and cam.

Yeah the tone of the V8's is just so much ballsier.
Some people say may car sounds like a GT and alot of people think it is...but I can tell, the sounds are night and day from a V6 to a GT. [&o]

He has a cam?!? Who would have guessed?He really shouldhave put that info in the video...[&:]

Oh, and the cam obviously would change the idle and such, but the mufflers still move the air in the same way, resulting in a similar effect, sound-wise.

Oh, really?

3.8 is a shortblock.
Huh? "The 3.8 is a shortblock"? You clearly don't know what a shortblock and a longblock are if you say "the 3.8 is a shortblock." The 3.8 is not inherently either.

You're right... you're not an expert. I've seen the dynosheets from both before and after.
