how it transfers to a car that you might have what you can do to bring that out what you shouldn't do what helps what doesn't help all kinds of stuff these um dr gas is a wealth of information super awesome dude i am super pumped to be doing stuff with them because literally you know my entire life cool sounding car out there was a freaking nascar and there wasn't anything like firing up the tv and hearing those cars go by at the you know that turn three camera now the races i went to did not run this x-pipe system so i've never actually heard this in person i really want to though it's going to happen and just to you know clarify air is air engines are inches it doesn't matter if you freaking blow and do trombone and then you hand it to buddy and he blows into the trombone too you're hitting the same note it's gonna make the same sound if the engine is of a similar displacement of a similar horsepower level at a similar rpm it's gonna sound very very similar because the the trumpet you're playing out of is what dictates that sound firing order plays a role in that too it's very interesting ls engines do not have the same firing order as the old school small blocks but the small block fords did and if you want to get creative and go back and look at some qualifying videos like watch dale jarrett's car qualify and then go watch dale earnhardt's car qualify they sound different and that's because of the firing order it makes a difference but it's i don't know that might be something i mess with too i think it would be pretty cool because you know they do the four seven and the two three firing order swap on like an old small block to bring it to like the ls firing order well what if you went backwards what if you put a four seven two three swap cam in an ls motor and just plugged in the coils opposite ways to make it work it'd be worse but would it sound different i don't know that might be a worthwhile experiment if we can make it work what do you think leave a comment let me know what you thought if you thought this was interesting if you learned something new if you already knew this if you have anything to add to it i know i've received a lot of useful information from guys in comments who have ties to this stuff it's pretty crazy how the internet works like that man if you made it this far you better hit that subscribe button because if you made it this far i know deep down you're an exhaust nerd too and you're gonna love it here i'm glad you're here i…
