I wish my truck still sounded like that. It has too much exhaust noise now in comparison. Are you running cats or a cam Chris?

Stock cats and manifolds, no cam. No engine work. but I think cam and heads are next on the list.
I can't complain though, I'm making 20-25 mpg and 500+ at the crank on a stock 5.3

Sup Justin,
Ordered my STS and will proabably get them installed on Monday the 28th. I know my truck is loud now but I'm really curious to see how it sounds after the turbo.

Good deal!
If you keep cats on the truck it will sound pretty clean. Without them and a big cam it gets rougher but not too bad. I just don't like the way LS1s sound anyway. I used to be a Mustang guy so I'm biased to good sounding engines. LOL
