Making Our Ford V10 Sound Like A F1 Engine (Almost) - Ford V10 4V Build Ep. 21

[@biy_buildityourself]

Hey guys, we've seen the Maisteer videos and he has been a big influence! We are waiting to hear how the steps sound on a car engine like the V12 before we scrap ours and start all over again. The bike engine revving out sounds cool, but kinda apples and oranges. And while there is real physics behind the steps, there are many variables to implement properly, that we are curious to see how he tackles and the results achieved. Definitely have our eyes on it!!!

[@ranware2779]

This is the stuff ford should have done to every modular engine there should have been a basic version and a outlaw version. It shouldn't take people to do all this custom stuff. Just like the ford explorer 11+ it should have been a eco, and a coyote version. The trakhawk would have been obsolete to many dropped passes for the home team... main drop mustang cobra SS that should have been the standard

[@ranware2779]

@KevinJames-yg9eu bs those are excuses fella nobody is saying put the outlaw engine in the car from the dealership. There are options to everything and ford did us dirty on alot of things no matter how hard you cry about why this and why that. They had potential that got wasted. All mustang gt's 96-10 should have been 4v engines all cobras should have been 5.4 4v engines. The coyote should have a 5.4 and 5.6 variant for the street..... they actually make those just not for the people. The ford explorer should have been on the f150 chassis likes it's always been. Tye ford explorer should have had a mandatory coyote option. The 2020 gt500 weights to much has a knob as a shifter a dct transmission only option when it should have come manual and weight less than the gt350 with no lift shift. The ford gt 17+ pure 100% bs the contract the v6 only option the dct 7spd only thing. The list goes on I could cry real hard but I'm not I will just touch the surface.

[@zacharychavez3482]

The thing with typical 6.8s is that many just cut off mufflers or straight pipe them, thinking it's gonna sound beefy like a v8 or like a Viper, and proceed to be disappointed when it doesn't even sound close to either. It's REALLY easy to make a 6.8 sound bad. That is not to say it CAN"T sound good as I've heard some screaming off their limiter from individuals that spent good money on proper exhaust setups.

[@amazin7006]

If I had to nitpick: it's still a 90° bank angle engine. But let's be honest, modding a block to the perfect 72° for a V10 would be utter madness. What a project! You guys might want to look into getting a high SPL microphone though. (Thats high sound pressure levels) The current set-up clearly succumbs to the awesomeness of an unmuffled proper equal length double 5-into-1 V10.

[@inaNis_]

The ford crank is of a split pin design so it is actually even firing

[@Levibetz]

Agreed on the mic, but on the bank angle, the Ford V10 is split pin so the exhaust pulses are even. The Lamborghini V10 is also a 90deg bank angle. It's based on the Audi V8 I believe. The 5.0l Lamborghini has split pins, 5.2l has straight pin and is odd-fire.

There’s also the fact that it’s a cross plain crank and not flat plain

[@akersquarteracre8002]

Dump both banks into one collector for the ultimate sound. Basically a 2-into-1 setup. The crossover helps but balancing the exhaust pulses directly together in one pipe creates the most exotic sounding pitch and tone. Also improves scavenging for better flow and improves mid to upper end horsepower output. Great vid, thanks for sharing! Very fun.

Equal length header dumping into collectors in sequential firing order will improve that sound but best will be to Dump them all into one 10 pipe collector in Sequential firing order clockwise and you will have it made. Bring the pipes in at 13 degrees and no helical twist. And exit with a 5 inch pipe and maybe have fun with a boom tube.

Did you guys see the recent video about it being stepped headers that gave F1 cars their unique sound? They definitely seem to be the key, even a 4 cylinder sound like an F1 car, if you fit stepped headers 😊

[@whattheluck7]

was looking for this comment. Guys did a nice job but it will sound like shit compared to F1 engines. they need to dive into scavenging and design it like musical instruments. F1 sounds like that cause you hear Chord (three tones) not Tone (one diameter pipe)

[@dons1932]

Not true, at all. Silly people are buying in to Maisteer's misinterpretations. It's common pinched collectors that create that sound, ie the x-pipe, not stepped headers. That's why it made such a difference here. They just need to move it closer to the collectors. Maisteer even shows an F1 engine without stepped headers that still makes that sound. Because that ain't it. It helps maybe 5% when everything else is right. But the x-pipe is 90% of the sound.

[@whattheluck7]

@@dons1932 not true. I was not referring only his video but scavenging theory as whole. I even programmed Python script to generate audio files of each cylinder at desired RPM to analyze how the exhaust waves will compliment each other (for various steps diameter to get resonant, not disonant tones - x pipe will ruin it)

I watched a video recently where they found the reason a lot of exhaust systems on performance vehicles retain higher pitched frequencies is because they step the internal diameter of the pipe up as the pipe gets longer. It is supposed to help with scavenging and will make it sound great! Maybe after you get the build complete you can experiment with shrinking just the first few inches of manifold to really and try to tune it! Amazing project, great work!

[@syntropy3020]

Have you considered stepped headers i.e. the first half of the primaries using smaller diameter pipe than the second half? This would make it sound significantly higher pitch like an F1 engine as it will double the number of reflections. Also what was the basis for the design in your X-pipe? Your current x-pipe design will cause a restriction as a result of having removed/cut out part of each pipes cross section to join them rather than splitting and opening them up to join them.
