Wow I think this is the most pure Half V8 sound I've ever heard. 4 cyls usually sound pretty different from V8's despite literally being half of one, but this one straight up sounds like half a V8.
It has to do with the firing order. I4 generally uses flat cranks. "Supercars" like Ferrari and the new Chevy C8 uses these cranks American V8s uses crossplane cranks, the only I4 I know that uses a crossplane is the Yamaha R1.
@@Hell0 Firing order and cranks is an interesting subject, 2 cyl bike engines can vary a ton, almost every manufacturer had their own idea on what was best.
If you have the space underneath your car, lots of pipe, lots of time and a few screws rattling around in the machine room, you could weld up different lengths of pipe and combine them back together in such a way that the sound actually does resemble half a bank of a cross plane V8. The reason a cross plane V8 sounds the way it does is due to the pressure waves either combining or canceling each other out. You could definitely get half a V8 rumble that way, although in the higher RPM’s it will sound more and more off. Actually, Subaru boxers have a similar sound effect due to different lengths of headers combining, which is why they also have a distinct rumble. I had a Buick L8 which would absolutely sound like a V8 at low RPM’s (but at higher RPM’s the scream would definitely sound very different). There is a crazy Bonneville Buick on RUclips (forgot the name of the car and builder) which is definitely worth checking out; one of the videos of the car is the owner filming it in his driveway for a friend so he could listen it roar. Absolutely amazing stuff. Really makes you appreciate the old Fireballs.

To Everyone saying it sounds like a WRX: The "subie rumble" sound we all know and enjoy exists because subaru boxer engines use unequal length headers. Since this custom header has 4 different pipes all different lengths we now have a custom UEL (unequal length header) which gives that rumble noise. Look up civics with 1320 UEL header for more. Sounds really good!
I'ma step up from 1 7/8 inch to 3 inch in 3 stages so I can make trumpet sound from my Civic then I'ma put a funnel coming off 3 inch tip so I can really direct my 3am calls😆🤣
I’m confident you don’t know shit about even engine basics, let alone the science behind why exhaust setups can alter an engines sound output. Stick to gaming. 🪑🤡
This was probably one the best 2 a.m. late night/right before bed videos I have ever come across. Mainly because I have built silly exhaust in the past and I love seeing someone else doing it and have fun. Great video man, also I think it sounds kinda neat lol
Here's a crazy one. Do what you did with the zoomies, but configure an x-pipe on each of the pipes and run the out opposite sides. In theory, it should have good scavenging and maximum flow. I'm curious about what that would sound like, too. 🤔
As a B15 Spec V owner this was hella entertaining to watch When I had a 1.8, the amount of different backyard exhaust setups I went thru... Side pipes were my favorite
In the 60's, there is an article about what is called ram tuning. You basically build the pipes to a specific length to allow the exhaust pulse to scavenge out of the cylinder while creating more vacuum for the intake charge to be pulled into the cylinder. There is some math involved to get the correct length figured out, and then you could also add a megaphone to increase the rpm range that the tuning will work with. It does include building an intake to the cylinder to a specific length as well.
There's a reason Honda abandoned their individual megaphones in the '60s. But not before they built a 1.5 litre 14000 rpm V12 with 12 exhausts, imagine what that sounded like! By the time they raced it, it was fitted with four 3-into-1 exhausts like everyone else was using. The problem with individual pipes is that they're peaky, even with megaphones. And whilst it's true that they scavenge well at a specific engine speed, they scavenge very poorly at others. They miss out on the inertial scavenging of neighbouring cylinders, too. And there's far fewer options for resonant tuning between cylinders (think the balance pipes on inline 4 bike engines.) They are also much harder to silence. You can get very close in sound with much more sensible packaging and significantly better performance.
In 1958 Doug Thorley patented the best exhaust scavenging, best torque and horsepower increasing headers ever made for V8's. The patented design was a 4 into 2 into 1 concept, called the Tri-Y design. Smooth bends, tuned lengths and diameters to match the cam profile and valve diameters, and engine firing order consideration dictated which 4 went into which 2 went into which 1, is what made them so much better than all others. They can be found in many winning race cars/trucks. Doug passed away in 2021. RIP Doug.
it sounds so good because of the phasing effect caused by having different length resonators (in the acoustic sense, not the exhaust component sense) that are firing the same charge in rapid succession. besides that, its one of the acoustically simplest exhaust designs i could imagine
Interesting! I know some types of Harleys are well known for having two equal length exhausts which supposedly sound really good as well (better than unequal to some). I'm curious how an equal length 4-in-4 exhaust would sound!
@@vincentkoster6291 I'm curious how a true quad would sound with tuned pipes, i.e. if each pipe were half as heavy as the other (this would maybe cause them to play octaves) or masses ala 1:2/3:1/2:1
I’m working on my daughter’s 4.0 liter; 6 cylinder Jeep. I happened across your video. Great job on the work and the video. From one wrench head to another I appreciate what you do!
This exhaust series has been awesome I think my favorite was the dual h pipe. Here’s some more awful ideas I’m sure you will enjoy. In case you haven’t already done enough welding yet how about a 3-1 and a separate pipe for the last cylinder or how about the cheapest rear mount turbo you can possibly set up.
I think that setup would sound like a Briggs and Stratton go-kart. I have been wanting to do a rear mount turbo video for a while, that's definitely on the bucket list.
@@tiagobelo4965 Honestly, that's what a rear mount turbo setup is. You can make the welds nice, but it's still a turbo hanging on the end of your exhaust.
@TDT0188 there is a reason there are 2 types of specialized repair shops. German and Subaru. My neighbors 2 year old Subaru has already had its engine pulled twice.
That sounded kinda good actually. I mean, I like the sound of zoomies on many engines but, I never would have guessed that a QR with a set would sound that good over the computer. Man, I miss my '04 Sentra spec-v. That car was such a blast. I've got a Q60S and an RX-7 now, neither are quite as much fun as that Sentra was for me in its OEM form. Hopefully with some mods they'll both live up to the smile that little Sentra put on my face.
I had a 04 Ser had a ballpoint separate and balled it up at over 90mph flipped end over end twice hit a big cement Calvert then smack a pole 25 feet in the air I was awake for all of it and the dang sentry was still idling when it came to rest I kicked the door open and walked away with minor cuts and two fractured vertabrae I miss that car
I hope your channel blows up. You’re funny, you have cool ideas, and your videos are cut perfectly. Not a quick stupid attention grab, but also not full of boring garbage. I see the beginnings of another great car modding channel.
When I was in my late teens, I had a new 1973 Pinto with the 1600 cc pushrod engine. I cut a Cherry Bomb muffler in half, took out the guts, and welded it back tocether, then I fabricated a "Y" pipe, and added chrome tips. It sounded a lot like your little Datsun there. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me when life was more fun.😅
Because less (no) restriction generates overall more low tones, same for raspy 3 cylinders. That and really short manifolds also increases the low tones.
Thankyou for not being like every other youtuber and taking a simple video consept and stretching it to 10+ mins. Got straight to the point and didn't waste any time❤❤❤ keep it up
I bet a little resonator and a high flow muffler (straight through muffler) on each pipe would make this sound super guttural and smooth, and take out some of that loud rasp that hurts ears. I think this has potential honestly.
@@XavierAway Exhaust components don't necessarily have to be near the exit. Many resonators are actually right after the converters close to where the transmission is in the front of the car. You could easily put one or both of these further up the line somewhere with a little creative engineering.
If you put a muffler for each exhaust, imagine how mich better it'll sound! I actually have been wanting to see someone do this exact build. Thanks for the upload.
Along with the pure racing half-V8 sound you created, I absolutely LOVE the angry jostling the individual pipes do when you rev and let off... 4:09 I think I found a new ring tone on this video. Sub'd
Sounds absolutely dope. On low RPM it's like a tank. But the best thing about this exhaust is that on high RPM it sounds like a WRX STI, and the car doesnt even have to have the flat 4 engine!
That’s because the thumping sound Subarus are known for us purely due to the two exhaust header pipes being different length. Unequal length or UEL. If you put and equal length header in, it’ll sound like an inline 4. You can actually get an UEL for a Honda D series and sounds like a god damned Subaru 😂 The pipes he made for this car weren’t perfectly even length so they gave different pitches, like a musical instrument.
i've been thinking about 4-to-4 exits for ages, thinking no one would do it quite like this. now this pops up in my reccomended after it comes out. glad to see someone is brave enough to do it, it doesn't sound nearly as bad as the straight piped single exit dodge dart near me!
never heard of this channel before, and frankly not even sure why RUclips recommended it to me, but subscribed instantly upon hearing "you either is or you ain't"
Ive notice the crappier and older a 4 cylinder is it has a "better" sound like similar to this one in the video 😂 i think the rasp and higher pitch comes with performance advance timing equal headers and high rpm with bad exhuast isnt too pleasant but it can be its just rare lol
When I joined the Navy in 2003 and got stationed in San Diego I had to buy a new car to share with the (now ex-)wife as my POS 1987 Bronco II with blown head gaskets was never going to pass CA inspection and we bought a 2004 Nissan Sentra SER Spec-V and this video gave me crazy flash backs to beating the piss out of that car.
Reminds of custom exhausts crafted by former Chilean Formula One mechanic Emilio Peeters for dealer Henry Moore's little Team Subaru in the early '70s in Austin TX. We were loud and quick with those fine small 4 cylinders. My 72 FF-1 had a Radio Shack electronic ignition kit soldered & bolted on, while my '73 GL Coupe had a Jensen Electronic Magneto. The other two team members ran '73 GL & DL models. They all sounded like this video and got between 30 to 40 MPG flouting Nixon's 55 MPH national speed limit during the Arab Oil Embargo days. Gas that was a high 38 cents for premium jumped to an outrageous 60 to 70 cents per gallon.
I really like that you did the video the length it needed to be and not a 15 min repetitive documentary like some others youtubers do. Keep it up man!!
Zoomies are still used in Top Fuel drag racing. They are some of the fastest cars in the world. Zoomies are not used much anymore due to packaging & emission constraints.
Im pretty sure Top Fuel drag racing cars arent very technically advanced. The reason theyre the fastest cars in the world is the fuel they use which is 90% nitromethanol.
@@sidefx996although not fully informed, he’s not technically wrong. Sure the fuel is nitromethane and not nitromethanol but the tech in those cars is not cutting edge by any means. It’s just built up to withstand the abuse thrown at it, but most of the parts are based off production parts
Zoomies work well on any engines with large superchargers, using collectors & other items to improve scavenging is of no benefit. I have a blown methanol car, see my chanel for a few onboard vids - fastest run so far was 2 years ago, 7.50 seconds @ nearly 180mph. I'm just learning to drive it having learned to tune it & its huge fun.
Fuck yeah dude, you got a follow and like from me. You didn't talk about nothing for 10 minutes to stretch out a 4 minute video. That thing sounds much better than it has any business sounding!
I admire your curiosity. I'm a old fu*# and very critical of crsp sounding exhaust. I have to say it sounded pretty damn good. Congrats. What you said was bad welding was actually impressive. You underestimate yourself. 😊
Can’t believe how much this sounded like a Subaru! I had to look at engine just to make sure it wasn’t a boxer 4. This actually sounds pretty cool and probably something I would do to a beater 4 cylinder car!
Its the sound of unequal length headers, not the sound of a boxer. The Honda S2000 with these headers sounds like a Subaru that's about to explode or take off ruclips.net/video/pFndmTo4OeU/видео.htmlsi=d_MLhZ4izIXQ2cZv&t=10 Subaru was pretty much the only automaker to use unequal headers for a four cylinder so people thought it was a sound unique to boxer engines but instead it was just the sound of the headers. Search for what ever other four cylinder with unequal headers they all sound like Subarus which is just the headers.
Dude this is awesome! It sounds like its stupid loud, but I kinda like it. Thanks for letting us see what'll happen if we let our intrusive thoughts win.
This channel, and Robot Cantina are some of my favorite channels, just because all the weird experiments done. Not for speed. Not for performance. But for fun, and because why not.
We need this series with a v6 and v8 please. No nonsense straight to the point just like these. And you could also see what it sounds like with true quads with 2 h pipes. Just really go crazy with it
There is a actually a company called 2j racing near atlanta that sells unequal length headers for spec v sentras. I had one on my spec v and it made the thing sound like a subaru sounded so good and header looks sick

It sounds exactly like the car from Hard Drivin' on the Sega Genesis.
@@GoldenGrenadier Oh hell, I forgot all about that ancient game. Kinda does.
To Everyone saying it sounds like a WRX: The "subie rumble" sound we all know and enjoy exists because subaru boxer engines use unequal length headers. Since this custom header has 4 different pipes all different lengths we now have a custom UEL (unequal length header) which gives that rumble noise. Look up civics with 1320 UEL header for more. Sounds really good!
This is exactly what I wanted to say. Sounds like a Scooby with an open and unequal header exhaust.

Seeing the pipes shake as the engine turns over is beautiful. Damn, I might need to do this to my Fiat.
This was probably one the best 2 a.m. late night/right before bed videos I have ever come across. Mainly because I have built silly exhaust in the past and I love seeing someone else doing it and have fun. Great video man, also I think it sounds kinda neat lol
Here's a crazy one. Do what you did with the zoomies, but configure an x-pipe on each of the pipes and run the out opposite sides. In theory, it should have good scavenging and maximum flow. I'm curious about what that would sound like, too. 🤔
I think cyls 1 and 3 would need to go together and 2 and 4 would need to go together to actually create a scavenging pulse.
It would sound like a higher pitch Nascar cup car. It's basically a boom tube as is
True duals into an X might be fun.

I have an appreciation for people that do their own work and try again to make it better. Nicely done.
Simply the best header drawing I’ve ever seen !!
In the 60's, there is an article about what is called ram tuning. You basically build the pipes to a specific length to allow the exhaust pulse to scavenge out of the cylinder while creating more vacuum for the intake charge to be pulled into the cylinder. There is some math involved to get the correct length figured out, and then you could also add a megaphone to increase the rpm range that the tuning will work with. It does include building an intake to the cylinder to a specific length as well.
How cool!!!
I'd say he understands this considering he openly said that doing this loses power at the start of the video
If I had lots of money for a dyno I would try this concept vs. a modern system and see how big the difference is
There's a reason Honda abandoned their individual megaphones in the '60s. But not before they built a 1.5 litre 14000 rpm V12 with 12 exhausts, imagine what that sounded like! By the time they raced it, it was fitted with four 3-into-1 exhausts like everyone else was using.
The problem with individual pipes is that they're peaky, even with megaphones. And whilst it's true that they scavenge well at a specific engine speed, they scavenge very poorly at others. They miss out on the inertial scavenging of neighbouring cylinders, too. And there's far fewer options for resonant tuning between cylinders (think the balance pipes on inline 4 bike engines.) They are also much harder to silence.
You can get very close in sound with much more sensible packaging and significantly better performance.
In 1958 Doug Thorley patented the best exhaust scavenging, best torque and horsepower increasing headers ever made for V8's. The patented design was a 4 into 2 into 1 concept, called the Tri-Y design. Smooth bends, tuned lengths and diameters to match the cam profile and valve diameters, and engine firing order consideration dictated which 4 went into which 2 went into which 1, is what made them so much better than all others. They can be found in many winning race cars/trucks.
Doug passed away in 2021. RIP Doug.
it sounds so good because of the phasing effect caused by having different length resonators (in the acoustic sense, not the exhaust component sense) that are firing the same charge in rapid succession. besides that, its one of the acoustically simplest exhaust designs i could imagine
Interesting! I know some types of Harleys are well known for having two equal length exhausts which supposedly sound really good as well (better than unequal to some). I'm curious how an equal length 4-in-4 exhaust would sound!
@@vincentkoster6291 I'm curious how a true quad would sound with tuned pipes, i.e. if each pipe were half as heavy as the other (this would maybe cause them to play octaves) or masses ala 1:2/3:1/2:1

This exhaust series has been awesome I think my favorite was the dual h pipe. Here’s some more awful ideas I’m sure you will enjoy. In case you haven’t already done enough welding yet how about a 3-1 and a separate pipe for the last cylinder or how about the cheapest rear mount turbo you can possibly set up.
I think that setup would sound like a Briggs and Stratton go-kart. I have been wanting to do a rear mount turbo video for a while, that's definitely on the bucket list.
wouldn't the second one just be a turbo haphazardly slapped on the exhaust pipe, with some questionable piping to the intake?
@@tiagobelo4965 Honestly, that's what a rear mount turbo setup is. You can make the welds nice, but it's still a turbo hanging on the end of your exhaust.
What about a 3-1 and a quiet muffler on the 4th to try and make it sound like an inline 3 cylinder?
@@1987FX16 it won't sound like a 3 cylinder. Unless that 3 cylinder is an early Laverda Jota.

When I was in my late teens, I had a new 1973 Pinto with the 1600 cc pushrod engine. I cut a Cherry Bomb muffler in half, took out the guts, and welded it back tocether, then I fabricated a "Y" pipe, and added chrome tips. It sounded a lot like your little Datsun there. Thanks for bringing back that memory for me when life was more fun.😅
imagine being a cat thief then pulling up on this thing
Ok but why does it sound so good? I wasn't expecting much but this is awesome.
Because less (no) restriction generates overall more low tones, same for raspy 3 cylinders. That and really short manifolds also increases the low tones.
what I like most about this is that you can see the firing order of the cylinders as it starts up

@@LostInPhilly89 I'm dyslexic thankyou
actually brings the pure engine sound out and it sounds lovely
I bet a little resonator and a high flow muffler (straight through muffler) on each pipe would make this sound super guttural and smooth, and take out some of that loud rasp that hurts ears. I think this has potential honestly.
Maybe like a cheap sports bike exhaust on each pipe.
Where would that go? The thing as millimetres from bottoming out as it is…
@@XavierAway out the roof, of course.
@@XavierAway Exhaust components don't necessarily have to be near the exit. Many resonators are actually right after the converters close to where the transmission is in the front of the car. You could easily put one or both of these further up the line somewhere with a little creative engineering.
If you put a muffler for each exhaust, imagine how mich better it'll sound! I actually have been wanting to see someone do this exact build. Thanks for the upload.
it sounds amazing. the little scrape on the pipe from backing out after putting down the camera killed me 💀
Along with the pure racing half-V8 sound you created,
I absolutely LOVE the angry jostling the individual pipes do when you rev and let off... 4:09
I think I found a new ring tone on this video.
Sub'd
Sounds absolutely dope. On low RPM it's like a tank. But the best thing about this exhaust is that on high RPM it sounds like a WRX STI, and the car doesnt even have to have the flat 4 engine!
That’s because the thumping sound Subarus are known for us purely due to the two exhaust header pipes being different length. Unequal length or UEL. If you put and equal length header in, it’ll sound like an inline 4.
You can actually get an UEL for a Honda D series and sounds like a god damned Subaru 😂
The pipes he made for this car weren’t perfectly even length so they gave different pitches, like a musical instrument.
all bark, no bite
i've been thinking about 4-to-4 exits for ages, thinking no one would do it quite like this. now this pops up in my reccomended after it comes out. glad to see someone is brave enough to do it, it doesn't sound nearly as bad as the straight piped single exit dodge dart near me!

Reminds of custom exhausts crafted by former Chilean Formula One mechanic Emilio Peeters for dealer Henry Moore's little Team Subaru in the early '70s in Austin TX. We were loud and quick with those fine small 4 cylinders. My 72 FF-1 had a Radio Shack electronic ignition kit soldered & bolted on, while my '73 GL Coupe had a Jensen Electronic Magneto. The other two team members ran '73 GL & DL models. They all sounded like this video and got between 30 to 40 MPG flouting Nixon's 55 MPH national speed limit during the Arab Oil Embargo days. Gas that was a high 38 cents for premium jumped to an outrageous 60 to 70 cents per gallon.
Stumbled upon this video, really enjoyed it as a quick and interesting treat. The sound was really good and your fabrication work is enviable!
Sounds pretty cool, especially at WOT I think. Love the mindset of it, just "what if?" The curiosity of the sound alone is a great reason to do this.

Zoomies are still used in Top Fuel drag racing. They are some of the fastest cars in the world. Zoomies are not used much anymore due to packaging & emission constraints.
Im pretty sure Top Fuel drag racing cars arent very technically advanced. The reason theyre the fastest cars in the world is the fuel they use which is 90% nitromethanol.
@@palikkalapsi345congrats that’s about the dumbest comment I’ve read in a really long time
@@sidefx996although not fully informed, he’s not technically wrong. Sure the fuel is nitromethane and not nitromethanol but the tech in those cars is not cutting edge by any means. It’s just built up to withstand the abuse thrown at it, but most of the parts are based off production parts
Zoomies work well on any engines with large superchargers, using collectors & other items to improve scavenging is of no benefit.

Can’t believe how much this sounded like a Subaru! I had to look at engine just to make sure it wasn’t a boxer 4. This actually sounds pretty cool and probably something I would do to a beater 4 cylinder car!
Exactly what I thought of when I heard it. 👍🏼
Its the sound of unequal length headers, not the sound of a boxer. The Honda S2000 with these headers sounds like a Subaru that's about to explode or take off ruclips.net/video/pFndmTo4OeU/видео.htmlsi=d_MLhZ4izIXQ2cZv&t=10
Subaru was pretty much the only automaker to use unequal headers for a four cylinder so people thought it was a sound unique to boxer engines but instead it was just the sound of the headers. Search for what ever other four cylinder with unequal headers they all sound like Subarus which is just the headers.
I've never seen one of your videos before, but after watching this I instantly subscribed. Good stuff, keep it up!
