Don't know if they're available for the C6 yet.

Pull two spark plugs, so it'll sound like a 6-cylinder...

A ninja motorcycle - jeez!!!!! Gotta be kidding (I hope)
Ferrari"s another matter. Try twelve cylinders and 8,000 rpm. Otherwise, buy a formula car.

WTF? I would never want my Vette or my SS 396 El Camino to sound like my Porsche. The Porsche is the worst sounding car I own.

Not really possible. You'd have to cut the displacement per cylinder, shut down 2 cylinders, and buzz the revs up way higher to duplicate the sound of a small displacement European or Japanese car.

Why in the Wide Wide World of Sports do you want to do that?


Should have bought a Ferrari or Lambo.


Or you could install Fart Cans like the Ricers

I know exactly what you mean. I wanted the same thing on both my C5 and C6. For the C5, I ended up with Corsa Indy's and an X pipe which sounded great. I thought it would be easy on the C6 and go with the latest Corsa iteration but when I heard them, I was dissapointed. Then I heard some BB Route 66's and they sounded really good! Very close to my C5 and yeah, very european. (I want to hear a set with some kooks LT headers as that's the route I'm going.) Anyway, check those out if you get a chance. I think you'll like them and they are the closest thing Ive heard yet to that type of sound.

The tried and true solution to the reknowned European ninja exhaust sound: two acorn squash and two tin kazoos. Hollow squash fore-and-aft sufficiently to accept kazoo; insert one kazoo in each squash; insert one squash in each tail pipe. Accelerate at will. Enjoy extraordinary Eurasian exhaust note. If you take butter and salt along for the ride, you can eat the squash after about 50 miles.

The Honda Forum could help you out.....Maybe go with two cherry bombs (Paks, not fireworks) and a couple those restricted tip cans for mufflers. Seen them put on an acura, sounded like one of those GoPeds on crack.
