Is that really the authentic sound? For me, it sounds a bit strange (I don't dare to use an other expression...

) ...I mean... it's a V8!!!!
The side pipes do have a 'unique' sound... some would say an acquired taste

(runs to hide before Aeroman or Boshly smack him!

)
Long live the rear exit!

Joking aside, Ivo, when I tried to capture the side exits on video, it was quite difficult - the rumble tends to make the sound too fuzzy to get a clear representation. The drive-by sound is closer to reality.
