Haha my thoughts exactly. Even when you try to quiet them down they still sound like a thousand bees being killed by a hundred weed wackers.

The Japanese V8s are on my radar however space is a little bit of a concern, there isn't a ton of space between the strut towers and exhaust routing is a concern on the driver's side with the steering shaft. With most of the Japanese engines being overhead cam, they tend to be pretty wide from valve cover to valve cover.
