I thought a true dual exhaust sounded like **** since it would be 4 cylinders and 4 cylinders when compared to using an X or H pipe. I heard a Dodge Viper with a true dual exhaust and it was horrible.

The h an x pipe don't make that much of a difference in the sound.

I actually don't like the sound of a viper that much. Cool cars though.

I agree with the LT1 sounding better statement. LT1 with true duals

See I disagree completely. I get tired of the whole deep tone thing that all companies advertise their exhausts with. What if I don't want a deep tone? Myself I like the ones that are higher pitched such as the Corsa. I like to hear them scream myself, that's what I think sounds good.

That explains it, that's why I like the mustang sound, it can be loud but not annoying. Once the ls1 is made loud, it's pitch is too high and imo irritating. They still sound mean just a little overboard, I couldn't handle driving mine as a dd unless I had a very mild tone, once it got louder it just bothered me and everyone within a mile lol. When you get that deep ground pounding exhaust note, it can be loud and still easy on the ears. I havn't figured out how to do that with an ls1, the closest is true duals.

An H pipe will actually make it sound louder. Plus if you don't have an H or a X, it will severely mess up your backpressure.

Actually your wrong on both of those. A crossover is not going to make it any louder, don't know where you got that from. And a crossover is for scavenging not backpressure. An x pipe for instance, creates a vacum with the exhaust pulse on the opposite bank thereby pulling exhaust out of the cylinder. Make sense? A h-pipe does the same thing in theory but isn't near as effective.

I think the Mustangs sound better IMO, but I could never bring myself to own one. Not because of the lack of horsepower, price, or degree of difficulty to work on, but because I can not stand the seats/interior in those things. I'm about 6'3'' 220 and I feel so crammed in every Mustang I've ever been in. At least F-bodies the seat will recline enough I can actually get comfortable. Ford must be doing something right, though. They've sold a hell of a lot of those things.

On a lighter note, I really like the sound of my LT1 with Hooker LTs, custom Y-pipe, and B&B. Now that I think about it, I have never heard an LS1 with a B&B kit in person, but I'd sure like to. I bet it'd sound good.

It has taken them 10 yrs. to sell a NBO car that still has trouble w/LT1's.Now for pure power NBO,LS1's will eat your slowstangs all day long.Who cares how they sound when they are behind you.........

i vote both cause i love the RAW sound of power the LS1 makes with Longtubes no cats and cut-out, but i also love the exotic sound the mustang makes too(hence i own one) but I have no trouble beating LT1's....stock they are slow(not off the line!)but i pass'em bout 40-45ish and I'm basiclly stock with just orh and flows. my old 97 turd GT hung with one from a 40 roll....barelly but my cobra eats them and its a 97 too....now LS1's is a diff story! lol cant wait til i get another one!

From a 40 roll an automatic F-body (assuming stock gearing) is absolutely gutless. You can't even tell you have punched the damn thing at 40.

I have only raced 2 sn95 Cobras. One a 5.0 and one a 4.6. Both were bolt-on cars and they saw tailights. That was when my car had 4.10s and nothing else. I'd say 97 Cobra vs 97 LT1 is a driver's race. That's the way its been with me anyway. Reguardless, they are both respectable cars, especially for their time.
