^true enough. But headers i think play one of the biggest differences, if both the camaro and corvette had true duals. I think that an f-body with vette headers, catless x pipes and corsa mufflers from a c6 would sound pretty damn unique and close to a c5 vette, wouldnt you agree?

It would sound unique and get you close. If all of the measurements were similar. You could measure the length of the C5 headers and specs, then have a set of headers custom made for an F-body to get as close as possible to those measurements and still fit. Then build your x as close as possible with a set of "vette" mufflers of your choosing. If you are willing to put the time and money into it, you can get a vette like sound. I think someone should do it, the question has been around for years.
I had TDs on my T/A. It was a TSP X with single chambers. It had the bad *** old school muscle sound. My Z06 sounds totally different. But I love them both.

i know exactly what u mean, TDs on a f-body and vette sound totally different. Maybe when i get some extra money i will call kooks up and see if they can make me a set or just try and see how a vette header mates up to an f-bod
