why does an I4 sound distinctively different to a boxer 4
a v6 to an i6 ??
does a v8 sound with a cross plane sound different from a flat plane v8 ??
it's to do with the timing of the opening and closing of valves or the speed at which the exhaust is being pulled out of the cylinders ??
i'm thinking its a combination of these factors but am unsure of this
also am i right to assume that the size, length, and merges in a header affect the sound ??
