OK. I know what you're saying.... Big deal, it's only a Viper motor. Funny thing is, it sounded NOTHING like a Viper. I can only describe the sound as the MEANEST thing I have ever heard. At idle and while revving.
So I ask one of the engineers how the h*ll he made a Viper motor sound that incredible/mean? He said custom headers and no mufflers. OK. I've heard tens of Vipers with headers/no exhaust, and they sounded NOTHING like this. Not nearly as mean/deep/powerful. So I decide to crawl on the ground and look under the bike. Here's what I found: Custom headers off the motor, which merge into 'one' pipe. This one large pipe then splits into a custom exhaust tip, that looks like two vertical strips about an inch wide and 6 inches tall.
So why does this bike sound so incredible? My only explanation is the headers merging into one pipe right after the collectors. Maybe this evens out the pulses and give it a unique sound. No bends in the exhaust pipes may have helped as well. In any case, if you guys heard this thing, you would be dreaming about your Viper sounding like this..... Better sound than ANYTHING I have ever heard, including all Ferrari's, Lambo's, Big Blocks, High revving small blocks, etc....
