we fired up an old Rover (Buick) V8 a while ago on someone's driveway with
no exhaust manifolds on it - that really was pretty darn loud. Windows
rattled, and the people 4 doors down the street though a plane was crashing
on their heads :-)
the flames are pretty good, nice blue / orange jets out of the ports in the
heads. Cooked the engine bay pretty well though...

One of my brothers old buddies had his exhaust rigged with a pair of 3"
electric aircraft fuel valves. Switch up on the dash ran the exhaust thru
a
Caddie quiet set of mufflers, down and it went out about a foot behind
the
front wheels with no restriction of any kind. Not only rather loud, but
shot flame a fair distance.
common
occurance that when I start my engine when parked next to an
alarmed car, the alarm goes off. :-)
Yeh, those 3/4-race cams and headers have this tendancy to do that . . .
