    Maybe going for that extra noise might have slightly killed it.

    I like the V6's with good exhaust. More when pressed hard. The ecotec does sound better going hard then the buick motor. But that buick engine still makes me smile giving it plenty.

    the first video didn't sound to bad, if you can somehow get the tone to be deeper then its perfect i reckon.

    man save ur cash and buy either a 5.0l or a 5.7l you will be sooooo much happier with the sound and when you drive past people they will look at the car cause it sounds tuff not cause it sounds like its farting lol
