AMG V8s don't sound that great. Something about them just sounds off. I just can't put my finger on it.
Even with better headers it just doesn't sound as awesome as other V8s.
Case and point:

I sat down and thought something was weird about the 6.2s noise but then I was like wtf am I thinking. I think there are better sounding V8s than the 6.2s but in terms of turbo V8s, AMG is making the finest sounding engines on the market.
Maybe you're watching the wrong videos :/ ?

The old ones sound sexy as hell. The new ones soud evil but aren't nearly as sexy.

I don't think so! They still sound a bit wrong. Not the way a big V8 should sound.

It is the audio capture and reproduction. It just can't compare to being there in person. The lower frequencies are especially left out by most audio captured. Youtube videos simply don't do good engine exhaust notes justice.

They sound slightly (I mean the slightest) synthetic. Hear me out , when you think v8 you think an exhaust that conveys uncontrolled aggression and power, now AMG knows this and created an exhaust that tries to convey this but the engine had to be made so it would also be Mercedes like (restrained civilized) but this led to the v8s missing bit of the v8ness

YOUR OPINION IS INCORRECT.
But really, I like German V8's a lot. American ones always manage to sound more angry, though.

Thankfully there is no shortage of Ford 5.0 liter engines and Flowmasters. Just rip those crappy AMG turds outta there and drop in the world's best sounding engine combo. Problem solved.
Other than that, I can only think to add that drivetrain "noise" is certainly very subjective. So, what isn't appealing to you might pass muster "ok" with the rest of the world.
Hope you feel better getting that off your chest?! ;-) hahaha
Take it easy brother.

I think the old M119 sounded AWESOME! This one though is just not quite right. Old V8 was awesome!! Go to 55 second mark!

I love that engine! Fantastic sound and great power! If the AMG could sound like that the world would be a better place.

LOL, thanks for taking my reply in good humor. Exactly as intended.
......aaaaaand, it's a f*cking awesome engine. Whether it be stock or as a platform for modding. As to it's sound, well, again... Ford just nailed that one. Good? Lucky? Who cares. All that matters is that it exists.

I have it sounded good, but not amazing like everyone else has claimed. The American V8s sounded much better!
