1983 Buick 5 Liter V8. 140 HP.
76 Plymouth Fury 318 150 raging HP.
Same with my early 80's caprice wagon-
It ground a lobe flat and I replaced it with an "RV cam" that really lit up the bottom end and midrange.

Any of them will sound great if you put a Borla on it.
A Hellcat is pretty loud from the factory, straight pipe it and it legitimately sounds like Hell itself trying to escape the earth.Nowadays I don’t consider V8 real anymore. The old days yes. You should hear the V8 in our 1994 van that thing is loud and it’s had dual exhaust run by the previous owner who my dad bought it from in 1998 the thing is loud as heck. You won’t find anything like that these days.
Agreed on that. Problem in my state is it wouldn’t pass inspection LOL. I’m too lazy to keep changing out components all the time to make it pass.A Hellcat is pretty loud from the factory, straight pipe it and it legitimately sounds like Hell itself trying to escape the earth.

My 6.2l Silverado...
1970 was good and the 71 Boss 351 Mustang was awesome!My 1977 Oldsmobile, with a 350 cubic inch Olds V-8, Rochester Q-jet, single exhaust, was rated at 170HP. 275 ft lbs torque.
Yep. 170 HP in a two ton car.
Lots of things to like about the 70s, but engines were not one of them...
As far as factory exhaust goes, the mid to late 60’s big block Mopars with factory chambered exhaust for the win!1970 was good and the 71 Boss 351 Mustang was awesome!
You’re going to laugh, perhaps, but the V-8 in the Tundra sounds awesome when you floor it. It’s got a great mechanical growl and just the right exhaust note. It’s a truck engine, but it belongs in a muscle car.
Yep, have Flowmasters on the `77All sound better with flowmasters.....
Haven’t had the pleasure of driving one, but I’ve heard many people say the same thing.You’re going to laugh, perhaps, but the V-8 in the Tundra sounds awesome when you floor it. It’s got a great mechanical growl and just the right exhaust note. It’s a truck engine, but it belongs in a muscle car.

Nice. I have the Ford/Borla catback on mine. It’s not very loud (don’t care for that) but it hits all the right notes.I love the sound of a V8 with a nice exhaust. I have single tip GT500 mufflers with a resonator delete on my 14 Mustang GT, the Borla system that I reference above on my 98 chevy K1500 and a Flowmaster catback on my 98 chevy K3500.
