i think it has to grow on you. no doubt gen i/ii small blocks sound better, and big blocks too, but they do sound nice.
plus if the car is fast i'm sure that makes it sound better
but he def needs an exhaust

My guess is that you had held residential camera's microphone cant handle the loud sound fo the exhaust so you get a **** sound quality same as if you took a video with your camera at a concert it wouldn't sound like it did when you were there most exhaust i see listen to on youtube with **** camera sound crappy like this have a poppy sound and thtas what i think is giving that sound although i could be wrong

I hope he's got more mods than cam and open headers....nothing more embarrassing than a loud azz car getting smoked by something thats not as obnoxious sounding.

Re: is this just me or does this sound terrible?!
The stall has to do with the fact that the PCM hasnt been recalibrated for the new cam.
As for the sound. Its loud as hell. Your neighbors would hate you if you ran a car like that all the time.
