Default How does it sound?

Hello,

I'm wondering what an LS1 sounds like thru a true dual header to tail pipe exhaust system. Would anyone that transplanted an LS1 into a muscle type car have a sound file? I pulled behind a Firehawk last night with a Flowmaster system and I thought it sounded pretty rice to me. Hopefully it was the exhaust system!!!???

Thanks,
Kevin C

Here is a sound clip of my RX7. It has shorty headers and a 2.5 inch exhaust system with a X-pipe.

I heard a guy this weekend at a cruise with a 98 ls1/m6 in a 67 camaro with dual flow bastards and stock manifolds. It sounded the same as my 67 big block camaro minus the cam lope.

I'll see what I can get this weekend. LS1, TR224-112, 700rpm idle, stock manifolds, 2.5" chambered exhaust. It's definitely not ricey. I've had more compliments on the sound than anything else on the car.

Here's my setup:

stock manifolds, 2.5" pipes all the way, dual high-flow cats, Dynomax Super turbo Mufflers

Sounds very nice. I'd like it to be a bit more mellow, but it definately sounds good. Heck.. my car used to be a v6... this sounds WAY better! I'll have a sound clip available tomorrow evening.

Here's Lane LS1 Mustang. Sounds real good through the back. I'm not sure if he's using the Mustang type exhaust over the rear end and out the back (last I saw it was just cut after the mufflers before the rear end), but I always thought the 5.0 sounded pretty good the way the exhaust was routed. Something about the way it bends and exits.
