Best Sounding Injected V8

[xr8gn3]

Putting all bias aside, what do yall think is the best sounding injected V8.

Personally I think the BOSS wins hands down, 2nd now dont shoot me for this fellow Ford boyz.....the Holden 5.0L :. Ive heard so many and I envy their grumble. 3rdly Fords 5.0L just not as loud and doesnt sound as tuff as the Holden donk but after hearing mine many will change thier mind:. 4thly LS1 their smaller predecessor kills them I reckon only a few have really caught my attention. LS2 havnt heard any with exhasuts yet.

Sorry, a Holden 5.0 sounds great, but an LS1 with an exhaust sounds even better.

Ford win the carbied V8 sounds, but Holden win the injected ones.

[loxxr6]

I'm not sure of the best but I've heard a commie 5L hooked up with a proper full length dual exhaust and it sounded mean for an injected car.

Their was a lexus v8 in some 4wd wagon I saw last year that had a mean growl to it too.

old style 427 S.O.H.C with mechanical fuel injection at full noise can not beat that.

Holden 5.0l shits on the BOSS and Ls1 for sound, but it all depends on the zorst...
One real nice sounding Ls1 would have to be motomk's SV8, that is one tough sounding car, that goes as good as it sounds.
The 5.0l windsor also sounds much better than the BOSS :

Phil, have you had a look at MOTO'S exhaust :lookedat:

That exhaust looks to good to be hidden under any car
The exhaust is a work of art

[philstoj]

yes ive seen it very close up..lol
tis very nice

[Walkinshaw]

again sorry but with regards to injected motors the 304ci sounds tough as nails.

Why isn't the Ford 5.7L included in the poll... to old?

I agree the 304/308 injected 5ltr sounds tops.

[SpoolMan]

Alex, Rod, and old Rays setup are very Tuff sounding exhausts.

[LUXO_8]

yes it is

[rodderz]

I love the sound of my boss....but the Holden 5.0L has a gem of a note to it...particularly with a decent zorst and some work done to it

Any V8 is music to the ears but the 5.0L must just have the right firing order to make it really stand out

[XR8GRL]

Philstoj's :hihi:

[b2tf]

BOSS is nice, i really like the GenIII, just has a great sound to it on acceleration. Havent heard an LS2 yet. Windsors are fantastic with the right set of pipes.

[niko]

dont hear many 5.0 fords in my area, BUT ALOT of commo 8's with not much in there systems, the grubling sounds sweet u hear burnouts all the time to, WHO NEEDS EASTERNATS :P j/k's (just live down my way ehhahhahaha)

[SSbaby]

It's hard to say but this is my 2c...

Stock: Boss 290.
Exhaust: LS2
Yesteryear: Holden 5.0L V8

[dzynafalcon]

WINDSR's 5.0L XR8 is probably the best sounding injected 8 ive ever heard. but cant beat the growl of old-school carb-fed mustangs, GT's etc

[kiwikid]

so far looks like the 5.0L have it hands down,
id have to agree

[rag top]

4.6L Mustang - in particular the Budwieser Mustang that John Bowe drove in the GT Production series... That was the tuffest sounding injected 8 that I have heard!

[Barry_v]

holden 5.0 is very nice sounding. dunno why.

[12]

I voted for the 5.0 Windsor.


Oh yes, I too think the Windsors sound better than the current modular Ford V8.

Awesome noise they make! The previous M5 (V8) sounded pretty crisp too, and even nastier with aftermarket exhaust.

However, at the moment I am in love with the noise coming from a shiny new black A8 with full dual aftermarket exhaust, that I see nearly every day on George St. in the city. It's not stooopid loud because loud doesn't equal good, but the quality of the note and the growl are just pornographic. :

We want pics damn it!

I dont know, most of the holden 5.0's I hear or a bit boganish. The BOSS is horn, and a LS1 I have never heard with an exhaust (or atleast noticed).

I had a statesman for a week and that was definatley nothing special in stock form.

Gotta agree with you there Mr S! The 4.2 sounds very sweet, best engineered V-8 in a road car IMO.

The Merc 5.5 s/c is awesome as well though!

One of my mates had a 4.2 sounded quiet good, have to admit the holden 5.0 did sound good with a decent exaust as well the winsor 5.0 was good to but man the boss in full flight, had and heared them all but the boss is just heaven.
Boss after 3500rpm... OH!
