It’s weird that everyone is complaining out the rasp on this Cadillac but when it’s a Mustang everyone loves it.

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

Hate the Coyote rasp. It's the only down point of the engine.

[@menamesframerate9136]

I like the sound of some mustangs but yes. It is still easy to overdo it and have a nasty sound

[@lsjionredlinesupercharged2049]

this thing is a beast of a motor. it throws u back into the seat so hard u almost get a concussion (at just 1.5k rpm, barely tapping the pedal). it feels aggressive yet silky smooth at the same time, almost like an overpowered electric car. i will love this motor to death.

These are really nice cars if you know what to look for and know how to fix them. Northstar engines are actually very good, all you have to do is switch the aluminum head bolts to metal ones from an ls engine pop on new gaskets fill w coolant and your set. I have done it.

[@tylercovey327]

@@toothrestorer6588 depends on what year the cadillac is. First North star equipped cadillacs used aluminum head bolts before switching to steel in early 2000's. That's also around the time they fixed the head gaskets switching to a better material to seal and last longer.

[@79USA1]

Nice, but really needs a set of Vibrant Bottle mufflers to take the harsh raspy sound out of it. But to each their own.

[@chadchaddingtonflexington8415]

Rasp is good. Love it

[@TheForgottenRedsAndBlues]

In my opinion the rasp makes it more agressive

[@bjamin0075]

That caddy will definitely wake up the 55+ senior trailer park 😂

[@nicholasfoley7105]

I have 06 STS4 V8, i agree the rasp just sounds tin can. I replaced resonator with two 18in glasspacks 3.5. round. mufflers with 12in. 5.5 round glasspaks to take out the rasp. Gives it very low tone rumble. It's loud, only downside its one of those cars thats louder then fast. Kinda like you hear it then you see it, and expect it to be moving faster then it is for how loud it sounds. Like a loud truck for instance.

[@maxzavala2317]

That sounds hella clean n better than hellcat!.!.

[@Ryan-ds2wx]

Oh Hell No! Yeah, this is way too quiet!! You can barely hear this car and sounds no different than a stock 1987 Cadillac Cimarron, and that's a damn shame 😒Owner should have just run open manifolds, which is hands down the best setup and provides optimal back pressure and reduced used car lot financing APR on these 2006 Cadillac STS 4.6L's.

[@jonathanryan2915]

I was a mechanic and I worked on a few Northstar Cadillacs. They always sounded really good, even with stock exhaust, but they were North star engines. Could have been a good engine if GM didn't do the bare minimum to put it together

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

I haven't seen one of these in a while. They make 320 horsepower and has a little pep but they are money pits. They would be good performers if General Motors didn't screw up with the head bolts on these engines. They were too short and didn't have the right clapping force to keep you from blowing head gaskets left and right. The worst things about these cars are the fact that the starter is under the intake manifold. Got to take the whole top end of the engine off just to change out a starter that goes bad. I fixed one before. Never again. This one doesn't sound half bad if they add an x-pipe but I still wouldn't buy one.

That chop is worse than a Harley. That sound exists because of its pipe length per cycler, without any explanation chambers and pressure balance between the manifolds. Its pressure waves are fighting themselves to get out the pipes creating a negative effect on the scavenging. I bet it's slower now than stock.
