Many modern automatic sports cars will generate a pleasing burble or pop when changing gear – this is achieved in exactly the same way, but not just for the sake of producing that satisfying sound. In a manual car, you depress the clutch and lift off the accelerator when changing gear.
Q. How can I make my Mustang super loud?
How to Make a V6 Mustang Sound Like a V8
- Replace the factory exhaust system with a performance aftermarket dual-exhaust system. Most V8 Mustangs use a dual-exhaust system that provides a louder and more aggressive sound.
- Swap out the factory headers with performance aftermarket headers.
Q. What gives Mustangs their sound?
In the Mustang, engineers used computer-controlled valves in the exhaust “much like a saxophone or a large pipe organ – to change the sound of the car based on the mood of the driver.”
Q. Are Burbles illegal?
No they’re not illegal. Ford has been very public about the sport mode pops and burbles so it’s not something hidden. The EPA (and their counterparts) have tested the car in all its modes.
Q. What is burble tune?
Basically they just squirt a little extra fuel, which finds its way to the exhaust and causes flames. However, it’s not the same thing as flames from a car that is making high power, and therefore shooting flames because of it.
Q. Does a tune make your car pop?
That sound echoing through the exhaust is what creates the telltale crackles and pops. Many people ask if this helps, or hurts the tune. Recently this has become popular because of the drama it adds to a car’s personality, but if done by an experienced tuner, it is mostly a euphonious sound modification.
Q. What causes a car to spit flames?
Why do cars spit flames? The main reason you’ll see flames shooting from a car’s pipes is that unburnt fuel has been dumped into the exhaust system and has caught fire. It’s likely you’ll have to run a richer fuel mix to make it work; the more fuel you can dump into the exhaust, the bigger the bang.
