Default how do I get the sound of a v8 from a flat 4 engine........

can the sound of a V8 be achieved from a 4stroke flat 4 cylinder engine by creating chambers & mufflers in the exaust system?..

Even a model V8 doesn't sound truly like a full size. Usually the RPM are not the same and tone is different because of size. Each engine sounds different and this is due to intake and exhaust arrangements. Dodge V8's have a particular sound that is attributed to their exhaust header arrangement. A four cylinder running at twice the RPM of the full size V8, would theoretically have the same frequency, but still won't sound quite right.

I'll help you out with these links if you haven' found them online yet.

Check out Conley Precision Engines. They make V8 models as well and they have some very interesting stuff including roots type blowers for their engines.


Here is a link. http://www.conleyprecision.com/

I heard the Conley V/8 run at a model show years ago. It sounds like a baby Chevy small block, and it is very cool!
