No V8 will ever sound like a 6cyl. A 6 fires every 60 degrees of crank rotation while a V8 is every 45 degrees.

You will have to try to get rid of the low frequency resonance of the V8, witch is almost impossible, and still maintain free flow for turbine volume.

This would be a lot of trial and error, and money. Try listening to some sound clips on some of the manufactures web sites.

A 5in straight kit will certainly sound really good though. That's about as close as you can get.
