180 degree sound nice, but it is a plumbing nightmare unless it is an all out race car.

this is a clip from my local race track during qualifications at a historic race car event. This is the group that I run in. The first Vette is 496 big block, the second Camero is a 310 ci X-Transam with 180 degree headers. Those 8000+ rpm bored out 302 v-8 chevys sound nice

Since you did ask a simple question, I'll provide a simple answer, I think it sounds pretty terrible. It sounds to me like a V6 with headers and straight pipes or something. Just something not quite right.

I happen to like lopey idle exhaust sounds...you know the type.

I like 8 straight pipes! The last car pulling out onto the track is a Lola t70 that I will be mechanicing on at the Monterey Historic races
