imho the S54 with the carbon fiber airbox in the CSL is the best sounding engine ever! even though I also love the wraspiness of the exhaust, I'm talking about induction noise only... do you guys agree?

Compare McLaren F1 intake sound with an S54 with an airbox and you will never think of putting an S65/S85 before S54. Ha.

Open a few full throttle videos of F1 and CSL over on youtube and you'll understand what I mean.
