I have Bullitt shorty's into N1's for my fiero behind my 3800sc. It sounds raspy and throaty and I like it but my question is for another car I'm putting another(very built) 3800sc into.
Does anyone know of a combination that makes the 3800sc sound more European?
Please don't say search or buy a Ferrari lol its just a quick question and an opportunity to talk cars

IMO, I don't believe that 2.8 exhaust mod (and resulting sound) would apply to a 3800sc at all.

You may be right but it was the only "Euro" exhaust I could think of

When I listen to that video I believe that this Fiero is running an engine other than the 2.8L. As for getting this sound on a 3800???? Why is this beneficial and what benefit does it provide? The objective on this end is to make horsepower. As long as we are doing this ;if my engine sounds like a , LS3, or a lawnmower it is of no consequence.
If the OP is looking to get a powerful American deep sounding exhaust the 4.9L Cadillac will do it. ------------------

No, it is a 2.8 (or a member of the same family). But I agree, it doesn't sound like one. I much prefer how the original exhaust sounds.

Ok long story short, i have a porsche 911 that i have cut up and made a wide body/ body kit for. The replacement motor for this car is $24k or roughly $15k for a rebuild. And maxing these motors out we only get about 325bhp out of these motors with out spending about $30k for the 4.0 stroker upgrade. So a few years ago with my other porsche i planned ahead to swap in a 3.8sc when i was ready for more hp and went and purchased the motor, exp cam, intercooler, ported everything etc.. pretty much everything zzp offered me when i told them what i was doing. I think my bill was $4700 if i remember right. This winter im doing the swap. I already have my adapter plate and everything else im just doing my research now. So ya the european sound is to try and get it to sound ... like a porsche lol
This is i quick vid of what i did to the porsche if you want to see it on the track there is more vids in my channel.

So you're trying to get a 3800sc to sound like a Porsche???  Hey, I wish you luck.
I autocross against my buddy who has a nicely done up 914/6... and I can't see a 3800sc ever sounding even remotely similar to it.
IMO, be satisfied with the ample power you'll be getting out of that engine, because its exhaust note is definitely not one of its attractive features.

Which Euro? You mean Italian?
..Not that I have heard a 3800 sound like one.
*Oh you mentioned Porche later. I would guess getting an actual Porsche muffler to fit would be as close as you could get, but youd also be looking to get the same rpms.[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 06-17-2019).]
