Could it be because you have an odd number of cylinders on each pipe?
That's what I always figured.... think about it, v6 - odd number of
cylinders on each side, sounds a bit ricey. v8 - even number of
cylinders on each side, sounds throaty. v10 - odd number.... Don't
know if there is any validity to it but that's what I thought.
Anyone ever hear a v12?
