How do u make a 2.3 sound better??

Tylers turbo vert sounds good above 4,500 RPM. he has a custom 3" exhaust. Low in the rev range though, it sounds like a Powerstroke diesel.

I have the exhaust cut off right after the cat in my '89, and that is way loud. It sounds good at idle, but it sounds like a damn cannon going off when you get on the gas, LOL. And at certain RPM's it vibrates the whole interior. You can seriously hear that exhaust from over a half mile away. It can also resonate really bad sometimes. I often find myself with a headache when ever I drive that car for more than 15 minutes, haha.

my car WAS (got rid of it recently):

<drivetrain>
2.3 bored .030
wiseco pistons
crower rods
lunati valvetrain and cam
ported and knifeedged lower intake manifold
gutted upper intake manifold
5.0 throttle body
msd 6A ignition and coil
pacesetter longtube header
no catalytic converter
dual spintech mufflers exiting out the back

it sounded okay... the cam made it pretty lopey sounding.

Hey ka0tyk, what equipment did you use to record that in MP3 format? Are you using a camcorder or maybe a portable player?
Good stuff
