Hi, during these days I watched a lot of YouTube videos regarding all the big world of Dino engines and, also, based on my experience, I think that this is the rank of best sounding Dino engines, from inside the car and according to my ear.
Interesting to discuss together why there is such a difference from one to the other.
1 Dino 2400 coupe’: fruity, very whining, very 65 degrees. A little slow to rev
2 Dino 2400 spider: as before but the exhaust is more present
3 Dino 2000 coupe’: faster in revving, whining well, exhaust more present then 2400 and gearbox noise too present
4 Dino 2000 spider
5 Ferrari Dino: transversal doesn’t improve, exhaust more present. Never driven one but I’m sure that noise from behind is nice
6 Stratos: no 65 degrees effect, brutal exhaust very rapid to rev.
Your opinion?

Hard to say. They differ only in intake and exhaust.

Well, II'm not so sure regarding your position: I would say 2000 is a really different engine from 2400 thus the sound changes significantly
Not to mention Ferrari trasversal and rear setup which I'm sure has got a high impact on sound characteristics...

Of course, there is a huge difference in the 2000 and 2400. I was thinking about the same engine in the different cars.Zolpidem wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 3:56 pm Well, II'm not so sure regarding your position: I would say 2000 is a really different engine from 2400 thus the sound changes significantly

Re: Best sounding Dinos ranking
Is there any special way to even improve the sound of the Fiat Dino? Any ideas?
Re: Best sounding Dinos ranking
There have been some rear exhaust end systems without a muffler / silencer available in the 70s. But I don't know whether they are still available somewhere these days
