I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.. Lol.
I'm on YouTube looking at exhaust videos of of the 4th gen 3.8L camaro.
Here's my question. Why do the 3.8L's sound so much meaner than the 3.6L's? I mean I found a lot that sound just like a v8 IMO. I've personally never heard a 5th gen 3.6 that sounded so close to sounding like a v8, even with a full exhaust with headers, cat back, and all that. Maybe somewhat close, but nothing like what an SS sounds like.
I know one is a 3.6 and a 3.8 but what's making it sound so much more aggressive?
