Default Re: Official Exhaust Clip Thread!!!

The exhaust note of the V10 is because of the engine being an "odd fire" engine. Viper engines fire 1 cyliner band at a time. V8s are even "fire engines" and fire two cylinders from each bank.

Maserati designed it this way because it was the change that allowed the crankshaft to be reliable. Even fire the Viper crank developed cracks after time. Viper engines are reliable because of this 'odd-fire' technology.
