A GM 3.0L V6 with an exhaust leak.

I remember our neighbor had an '83 Cutlass Ciera back in '88... it had the 3.0L, with an exhaust leak... I loved to hear that car for some reason, but I was only 12 at the time. LOL.

A GM 3.0L V6?

Come on, you can do better than that! How about a '70 GM 454 LS6?

I know its a 350 but I figure its a modified Nismo version for a good comparison..

My BMW V8 as it sits now, with no mufflers. Just the stock small resonators and magnaflow high flow cats. I had done this video for someone who asked how can a car with no mufflers be quiet enough to hear yourself talk or hear the radio. I had the radio down very low to prove that you can hear over it, but didn't realize that the camera mic woudl be aimed in such a way to pick it up as clearly as it does...

BTW, at the beginning of the video, it's running at idle.

Oh, and here's one from inside my friend Harry's car with my wife filming.
