I used to have a 99 Cobra and those things sounds awsome. I think it has something to do with the firing order and exhaust layout of the mustangs. Adding a FI should add the same sound to both LS1's and Mustang, but the mustangs has a better engine sound from my experince.

I think he is talking about the whinning of the supercharger itself. Nothing to do with the exhaust. It's because of the type of supercharger. It's a positive displacement roots type supercharger. Not a centrifical one like Procharger or Vortech which is widely used on LS1's.
thank you. Trending Topics

Ever hear a F1R at idle? It sounds like a gosh damned jet. A positive displacement blower on a C5 will scream like a little girl too.
To be honest I dont think if it was ever do able a roots type on a F-body will make power close to what vortech or ati makes.

well if your talking about centrifical blowers ....you gotta look at where the sc sits....on the mustangs they are up above....while the ls1s the sc sit down almost under the engine...im sure that kiils alot of the sound...
