Straight pipe 300
Okay guys, I've already sat through all of the different exhaust sound clips they're not necessarily the clearest to hear due to the distortion on the mic and I'm just looking for specific answers not a flame thread.
What is your opinion on the sound of a 300 with straight pipe exhaust with no cats? Also, What in your opinion does it sound like at idle and what does it sound like when revved.
Thank you guys.

I have true dual straightpipe. I hate it, but I am not finished. I have many different styles I have to experiment with. Currently, everybody who hears it says it sounds like a Diesel and a tractor making sex and then climaxing into a Civic.

Okay guys, let's stop beating the poor guy up. Was it a bad choice of words? Yes, was it still accurate? Yes (IMHO), was it absolutely hilarious? YES. Straight pipes on an inline six will sound like a tractor and then a ricer no matter what you do. You're better off with a good turbo muffler with a couple of free flowing chambers. If need be put a resonator in the system to get a little more tone. The fewer the cylinders the more 'ricey' it's going to sound.

I believe you can still get a good sound out of a inline 6. Nice exhaust system combined with a mild cam. As I said earlier, searching YouTube, I found several chips of ford inline 6's that sounded very good.

A 6 cylinder is never going to sound like a V8. If a person wants an exhaust that sounds like a v8 I suggest they mount a v8 in front of that exhaust system.
If you want it to sound like a diesel then swap in a diesel!
A 300 is going to have it's own sound. If you don't like the sound either throw on some quiet mufflers or swap out engines.
I personally think a built 240/300 with performance exhaust is some sweet music!!

Open manifold on my truck sounded like a big block v8 crossed with a tractor. I loved the way it sounded but I didn't like the fumes. I wish I could get it to sound like that with the exhaust going out the back.
