  1. As you're working on the sound, keep in mind that a significant portion of the car's sound comes from the intakes. At higher revs the trumpets actually function much like organ pipes, and can contribute a bit of a "wail" to the sound. Car companies make efforts to control this sound due to the contribution to the car's noise. You might want to see if there are any baffles in the airbox or tubing leading up to it. You also might want to test it without the airbox or lid if you can do it while retaining the filters. I wouldn't be comfortable test driving without filters and airbox, but the choice is yours.

  2. I just saw the JayEmm video of the car -- very nice! Obviously the proud owner in the passenger seat judging by the smile. As far as sound, it sounded better to me. As in regards to what's possible, here's a few data points... First, what's the wildest it might sound? Here's an IMSA GTU Ferrari 3.0: https://youtu.be/dC9NjWfc7Zk?t=500 , or else a Camel Lights (3.0 liter prototype): https://youtu.be/CsiIdD4wPIA?t=26 . To be honest they don't sound so much different from yours as far as the overall tonality of the sound (aside from the higher revs). But then the famous Cosworth DFV V8 https://youtu.be/mP7cn-fTSlw doesn't sound that different from the same Company's 4-cylinder BDG: https://youtu.be/rCjnMoH4ES0?t=39 or https://youtu.be/DUpfvGEymjA?t=28 .
