Radial engines are definitely in my top ten. Fast forward to .45

 

Bike: A healthy shovel with drag pipes

Boat: Twin big blocks with through hull exhaust

Car: Any built v8 with a high lift/long duration cam and little or no exhaust behind the headers

Music to my ears!

 

Engines from the Formula One V10 era. Here's a video of a Renault V10 on a computer controlled dyno that's programmed to do a lap around a circuit (dunno which one). The engine is a normally aspirated three liter (that's 183 ci) that produces somewhere around 900 hp and has a red line of around 20,000 rpm. Obviously, cost is no object. Not a pushrod or valve spring in sight. All hail exotica! But then it doesnt bellow like a Badass Bagger engine and it probably doesn't idle with a lope.

 

I'd have to agree.


800 HP, 9,000 redline, 211 top end. And that unearthly screaming exhaust note.

 

The wop wop wop of a Huey.

 

...... For me too, 1966 to `84...

 

Do you have a baffle release for straight pipes that you can open at will?

 

My absolute favorite sound is the sound of a litter of puppies

 

The sounds of quarters hitting the metal tray of a slot machine that just jackpotted.
