You can get that out of a Nissan V8

VH41DE = 4.1L V8 (1997 - 2000 Infiniti Q45)  
VH45DE = 4.5L V8 (1990 - 1996 Infiniti Q45)

– and the successor to the VH engine series

VK45DE = 4.5L V8 (2002+ Infiniti Q45)  
VK45DD = 4.5L Direct Injection V8 (2002+ Nissan Cima)  
VK56DE = 5.4L V8 (Found in Titan, Armada, Infiniti QX56)

There are tons more variations. All have a very nice lopey sound with a nice free flowing exhaust… Well it is not as nice for the 4.1L

So far these produce my favourite V8 sounds
