Re: GTO sounds
The brand manager for the GTO made a presentation at the Pontiac Oakland national show, and, they exhaust "note" was fine tuned by NOT using a crossover. They worked very hard to get the right combination of "burble" and "rumble" by having slightly different tones coming from the two sides. They used ,IF I remember correctly, the '71 455HO as their standard to shoot for. The feeling was that was the ultimate GTO exhaust sound.
The overwhelming sentiment was "where's the GTO scoops?? The answer was they will be available shortly in the aftermarket, and, probably standard in 2005. They're going to sell all the 2004s anyway, so, they need something to give people a reason to buy 2005s, right?
