[urq] Why are the L5 Turbo engine sounds different ?

[Brandon Rogers]

Seems to me others have mentioned the "whys" - and that all makes sense to
me.  For the sake of conversation, I prefer he sound of nice uncorked 10V.
Like an urq factory exhaust minus center resonator - and maybe even minus
cat.  Nice deep rumble.  On GTGs I just love following behind a few 10V
cars.

Here's one I Like - first 15 seconds, then after 1:30

Spent the night at the pub with Brady (urQ, 4kq, 200qa20v, 240Z) and Geraint
(200qa10v, 964, GTI Mk2, Spridget), obviously most of the talk was about
cars. One question is still unsolved : why is the sound of the L5 10VT and
20VT so different ? We have some thoughts about it, but I'd like to hear
from others.

 

We agreed that the 10VT is better sounding : rougher, deeper, richer.

 

What is the list wisdom on this ? Which is better, but more important, why
the difference ?
