just wondering if there is a good system to run on a turbo car that will make a nice deep muscle car sound rather than the sound of a a can with a bunch of rocks in it that so many turbo LS1s seem to sound like... i know this sound comes from the turbo acting as a muffler but is theere anyway to make it sound good again?

 

Some sort of chambered muffler and have a cutout.

 

Magnaflow with a cutout. Love having it closed and driving

 

Open down pipe

 

Exactly

 

Never heard a bad sounding turbo ls car period,

 

X2 bull Horn in front of the front tire

 

Open downpipe for sure

 

I'm running twins with true dual 3" and round magna flow mufflers out the bumper. It's the perfect sound. No cackle or popping crap.

 

^^^ need video

 

I run a Garret muffler with exhaust exiting the fender.

 

I would also like to hear 2000rata's exhaust.

 

Lm1+cutout here

 

Kooks true dual exhaust with cutouts off of the dp's
Kooks are loud but sound really good. As with the previous post on duals: no popping or cackling

 

Do you have any clips of the LM1 behind a turbo?

 

My muffler has a 1.58 a/r with a 96mm wheel inside it... Oh

didnt know it sounded like rocks in a can...

 

That car sounds very nice man.
Thanks for sharing the sound clip.

 

Why cutouts? My Dyno numbers are through the full exhaust. I do know I lost about 75 HP with the exhaust but I don't get a second look from people driving around. And I can turn the boost up it's not choked in fact it peaked at 6400 and had over 1K HP from 5900 clear to 7000 rpm. Car does not hook on the street how much power does a guy need?
I'll see about some sound/video.

 

I first built a single 4" from turbo to rear of car with a 4" race bullet muffler, it sounded like a schoolbus with a leaky exhaust - like $hit.
Then I built a 5" downpipe that splits to dual 3" w/ dynomax ultraflow mufflers. I love it, nice muscle car rumble, and very quiet.
I remove the y pipe, and run open 5" at the track. That sounds good too.

 

I'll see if I can get some clips. I picked up 50 hp I believe just from the cutouts being opened. I did it for performance but mostly for sound. Turbos really sound good off of the down pipes.
