>>You've got two extra cylinders in the firing order on a V10. So given
the
same RPM as a V8, your getting two extra exhaust pulses so matter what
RPM. Now those two extra exhaust pulses will change the sound. Another
factor is the cam difference. I don't know the cam specs on the V10, but
I'm, sure it has a higher lift than the V8, and longer duration and a
real
wide lobe separation to keep the emissions equipment happy.<<<
aaahh... makes sense... so, more "cumbustions" per RPM will create a
higher pitch at the same RPM's... simple physics.. why didn't I think of
that? =)
okay, here's another one... if my 6er has the same size cylinders as a
318, and the combustion chamber is the same size, given the conclusion to
the Viper question, why isn't my exhaust tone lower pitched than a V8?
I'll take useless info I learned on the DML for 500 Alex =)
