Arrow Sounded like a v8?

Today a black FD passed my freind and i and it sounded like a blown v8 (as in a 'blower' not blown engine). What exhaust or parts do i need to get a similar sound ? I hate all those fart-can exhaust that have a zippy sound to them...

You sure it wasn't an actual V8? A lot of guys like to do the LS1 swap... I doubt you could get that V8 sound with a rotary... without the LS1 swap...

If you are looking to scare the **** out of everyone a straight exhaust with a Apexi Gt is a good idea. However, to get the real deal having an extremely ported rotorhoursing would really do the job.

A rotary will never sound like a V8. Probably had an LS1 swap.

I dunno man, after driving a Hinson car I am starting to believe that this is THE WAY to go with these cars. You get all the power and handling, plus the looks and reliability. Completely differerent that driving a corvette.
