I realize the cam has alot to do with it but I'm about to redo the exhuast on my lq4 swapped 77' 280z and I'm after the crackle that I hear alot of vettes spitting out. What is it about the vettes that make them sound so badass? I'm building a dual 3" system with an x pipe and magnaflow race series mufflers. I currently have a .590 .590 114lsa cam so nothing crazy.

If you like that raspy crackly sound... my original choice of sweet thunders may work for you.

Usually F-bodies don't sound like this

You can tell if this guy had a cam it would sound similar.

That was the car I modeled off of for my ls1 rx7, and when the engine was stock I got this sound

They were too loud on their own so I added in some dynomax bullets and I think the car sounds more like most F-bodies now.

Mine sounds pretty close, a little more ping than that vette


ls3 with a hotcam, longtube headers, dual 2.5", X pipe and dual magnaflows.

Dual exhaust always sounds better

Well I'm in the process of getting some long tubes and I'm ditching the magnaflows (they sound good but to "organized" at idle for me) I like how the vette crackles and has that raspy idle and then when you open it up it sounds nice and clean.

IMO I think the true duals always sound better / more choppy.. The x pipe may give you a bit but if your after sound seperate those pipes..

I do it one way or the other.. either true duals or one HUGE pipe.. but i like the more tame sound so......

if you want an animal slp loudmouth's with true duals, no cats, and a h pipe will make **** run and hide and have the nastiest idle a big cammed ls can produce but everyone that lives around you prolly won't enjoy it as much as you but if you have jerks for neighbors all the better
