Based on this, I am one to believe the G8X will sound much better than the F8X.
In the StraightPipes video posted in one of these threads, they rev both cars pretty aggressively in various modes (starts at the 7:35 mark and again at 24:50), and they do seem to sound a bit better than the F8x, right out of the box (not under load at least). Some of the F8x raspiness is still present but overall it seems to have a deeper, smoother tone.
