True duals sound the best to me.YouTube user North Degree has quite a few exhaust comparisons (including the above DeLorian) on their channel, here.
Yeah, the real thing had an H-pipe, not an X-pipe. PD's new system will allow both on any car, as long as they give us that control.
It'd keep the V8 brigade happy.

I agree 1,000,000%. It sounds like a proper 4-rotor should, screeching and pissed-off. Mazda and PD did a fantastic job with this.

You know, the ///M AMG V-Tec 5.0 SS Z06.

Oh yeah, that one. Silly me. I really looked like a fool there.

What about the VIZIV 288 LM55 Cobra GTO?

That's a great car, but not as great as the FT-1 2X 2020 DP-100 XR-PHEV GTi.

How did I forget that one? It's almost as good as the NISMO Viper CTR-12C quattro ZR1 Nurburgring Edition!

Hard to pick which is the best sounding car with so many cars in the game I haven't tried yet.
But current favourite of mine are definitely the Subaru VIZIV & Mazda LM55
Mazda LM55
Subaru VIZIV
...with honorary mention going to the Ferrari 330 P4

Yup, sports has been the ticket for four pots since GT2!
Semi racing on six cylinder cars, I find usually, too.
V8s are a crap shoot.
Agreed. The Stratos is a V-6, and it sounds great with semi-racing exhaust.

The Mazda LM55 VGT sounds great. It feels so highly strung and the downshifts are nice when braking from high speeds.
Also the Subaru Viziv GT VGT does sound very good but I do not think the sound suits the car at all. It sounds like a modified V8 and that, for me, does not fit the car.
Then we have the usual suspects such as the Lexus LF-A which is simply devine. In fact it is as good as the BMW Z4 GT3 is bad.

Has anyone heard the 01 bathurst rx7 fd? Yes its a standard car. But With racing exhaust it sounds like a V8! It's my favorite Sounding car in the game! U have to hear it!
I wish all the v8 cars sounded like it lol

I would agree that the Mazda LM55 is awesome. The downshifts remind me of Ayrton Senna's McLaren MP4/5... The Subaru VIZIV also sounds good. The Shelby Cobra 427 '66 with racing exhaust has a great growl to it. The Lexus LFA, of course, howls with its sharp V10, and the Ferrari 288 GTO/F40 have a nice sound.

Not to be that guy, but a boxer sounding like a V8 is not unrealistic. I'd outright expect it.
Put succinctly, and perhaps not entirely uncryptically, it's all to do with harmonic series, and the specific ratio of harmonics "overlapping", and thus affecting our perception.
To clarify slightly, the harmonic series inherent to "that V8 sound" is inherited from the cross-plane firing intervals: 180-90-180-270 (crank degrees).
In the boxer, it's achieved by the unequal exhaust shifting the apparent (as we hear them) firing intervals away from the 180-180-180-180 of a perfectly even 4, towards something less even. The specific grouping of exhaust pulses allows the perfect 360 / 360 degree separation of the 180 degree firing pairs (the two separate banks) more towards the 270 / 90 of the cross plane four.
That degree of separation only typically occurs with very unequal exhausts and / or very high rpm, but the characteristic sound starts to creep in at much smaller deviations; much as V-twins with bank angles between about 60 and 120 degrees sound similar to the archetypal 90 degree throb. Both of these phenomena have been observed to be quite confusing for some.
Additionally, the cross plane sound can easily be shown to consist of mostly the 270-450 interval (90 degree, e.g. Ducati V-twin), then the 180-540 interval (Kawa ER6, boxer 4, Laverda Jota) and the 90-630 interval (V8 with a misfire) as the smallest and final contribution. Youtube it.
Finally, the typical exhaust configuration on modern V8s leads to a more 180 degree dominated sound; a prime example being a Chevy LS firing order (or equivalent) with "log -like" manifolds, equal secondaries and an x-pipe. I.e., any modern Corvette. Then there's BMW's twin turbo M V8s, configured just like two boxer fours on the exhaust side; and it's plain to hear.
The joy of PD's new sound method is that all of this detail just drops out with the appropriate physical settings fed into it. If Pd give us that control over it, it'll be quite the revelation.

The Mercedes AMG VGT stock, starting in 3rd gear, don't use a tuned setting, using the Chase Cam.
Everyone try this now:
1. Stop the car, put it in 3rd gear and accelerate. That low acceleration growl in 3rd is immense. This is exactly what the American muscle cars should sound like. Try it from 2nd gear too.
2. Now try slowly revving it with the thumb stick, in 1st gear holding the brake with another button, very slowly using the right thumb stick, UNREAL.
Sadly like many cars it sounds like a vacuum cleaner with the roof or bumper cam once you change the gearing. Chase Cam retains the sound, but who wants to use Chase Cam?

Change the cars mic position to chase cam, I do for some cars but run in bumper cam. When on track start menu, scroll down a little way.

Wow I didn't know you could do that! I've only had the game since Christmas! Thanks a lot
That's saved me having to listen to Bonnet Vacuum Cleaners on some cars when I've tuned cars! So much better. Although a few cars do sound better with the Bonnet cam. (Tuned 430 Scuderia for example) Like you said you just have to change it for each car.
The mic position really makes a massive difference to cars, some go from horrific to epic.
This has really boosted my enjoyment now.

Hearing only the engine samples in the interior / bonnet view is indicative of incorrect audio settings. You should be able to hear the exhaust fine in almost any car in those views.
Check the game isn't outputting multi-channel audio to a stereo only device etc. The game uses directional audio, and missing or misinterpreted channels don't do very much useful.
Using HDMI, the PS3 defaults to multi channel regardless of what it connects to.

The BLITZ DUNLOP ER34 SKYLINE '07 sounds awesome. I bought it to do the Formula Drift seasonal, and was blown away by the sound of it.
