Hey guys, Ive got a '71 dodge demon and it has a 225 slant six in it but it sounds like a pussy car. What would I need to do to get it to sound more like a muscle car? This is my first car project and I need all the help I can get. Thanks guys!

Well, I googled it, and still don't know WTH it is. Care to elaborate?
From what I can tell, it's some special mystery muffler often ran in the great American south.
That's about all I know. She won't tell me more.

IMO, if you really want it to sound like something other than a /6, you'll need to install a dual exhaust. A set of headers would be needed to accomplish that, then just run it like a "normal" dual system with a set of turbo's or the like, just a little smaller diameter.
Nope. I've got Dutra Duals with 2" pipes and no crossover all the way to the rear bumper, and once it's above idle, it still sounds like an inline six. A sound I happen to love, BTW.
The only way to make a /6 sound like a V8 is to replace it with a V8, as the first comment suggested. FYI, you also can't make a 4-banger sound like a V8, nor can you make a V12 sound like a V8. But you don't hear about Viper guys wanting their cars to sound like V8's, do ya?
Revel in the fact that you have something different, or swap engines.

I guess I should have been a little more specific. The dual exhaust sound is different for a /6 vs. a V8 obviously, putting a dual exhaust on a /6 won't make it sound like a V8. But it will make it sound different than a stock /6 does through a single pipe. Putting a dual exhaust on a /6 still improves the way it sounds over a single pipe, just like putting a dual exhaust on a V8 improves the way it sounds vs. a single pipe.
But that's just my opinion, I like dual exhausts.
