LS1 with x pipe and bullets sounds ******* awesome!

But I do like the sound of LT1 better. And by the way most flowmaster's with those god awful 3.5" tips sound like ****! I put the factory Z-28 tips on my Flowmaster and didn't even sound like the same car.

Idk. had both, and I have to say when I nail it, my LS1 sounds waaaaay more awesome. It just sounds pissed and ready to kill something. The LT1 I had was just loud and ... loud.

The LS1 when modded sounds much more raw...and you can just tell that it is a "True" musclecar.

I think that my car sounds sick down the track. I love the way it sounds anytime it is on really!!!

In stock form or even catback the LT1 sounds better IMO. Now when you cam, head and full exhaust both i think the LS1 sounds mean and more aggressive and the LT's sound more deep but rice crispy to much(snap,crackle,pop) on decel. I'll try and get a video clip of my Vette sometime soon. It's full bolt ons, TSP Lt's and o/r Xpipe heads,cam, B&B Bullet mufflers. It's WICKED mean sounding~Cole~
P.S. this video is with the mods above but with stock Corvette Z06 Titanium mufflers which were to quiet for me lol i only went about 40-45% throttle according to my Palm Scanner. It's not a very good camera but listen to it in person with the new exhaust and it'll give a deaf man the chills when i give it the gas

LS1 sounds better. no popping when engine braking, consistent gargling sound when on a smooth accel, and a loud scream when you nail it to WOT. when cammed they sound even better.

I have to ask:

Whats not to like about both of them?

Revelation Z28

also guys, for the record the LS1 and mod 4.6 have the same firing order. so if you do an H pipe to flowmasters on an LS1 and a mustang, they would almost be identical sounding.

lots of things come into play with the sound difference of the LT1 and LS1. firing order, aluminum block, boreXstroke, etc.

DOHC 32 Valve 4.6 > LS1 and LT1 combined. But I personally enjoy the sound of an LT1 over an LS1.

The material of the block has nothing to do with it. My Iron block LQ4 sounds exactly the same any Aluminum block LS1. It has to do with the chamber design in the cylinder head (how the combustion actually happens, the sound of the combustion in term of completeness), the camshaft valve events (how the overlap affects the dilution of the mixture and how much air/fuel mixture is allowed to enter the chamber and at what point (relative to TDC/BTC)), exhaust port design (how the exhaust pulses are scavenged out through the exhaust, and how the sound waves are carried away), exhaust plumbing (type of muffler used, how banks are merged and their routing). It is not specifically one thing, but it is definately not the material used. If it was then Aluminum headed SBC would sound different from Iron headed SBCs, but they don't.

I have to say I like the sound of my LT1 better than any ls1 i've came across in real life (ie.. not on message boards online)......

i got a ls2 in my 95 ta bt i still love the lt1 cammed sounds

At the end of the day, who cares. Both are good sounding motors. I can't really tell the difference unless i am listening for it.

I think LS1's are great sounding cars, they sound so angry when you open them up

I think the LT1 sounds better whether it is stock or modded. I had a 383 LT1 with a 3" X pipe and bullets and I have never heard anything that I thought sounded better. I have a 2000 Z28 now and it just doesnt sound as good, neither did my brothers heads, cam, and full bolt on 99 T/A. However, the LS1 is a far better engine, so I will just put up with it not sounding quite as good. DOHC mustangs do sound amazing, though.

I think Ferrari exhaust sounds are the best... OoOOOppppss did I just say that on this forum...My bad sorry...

96formulabird

ok sorry i was reading this and had to chime in. ok my buddy has a 99 ss camaro with gmmg cat-back and that has to be the the best sounding ls1's ive ever heard. yes gmmg is made to do that. but i have to say my lt1 sounds a hell of alot better and all i have exhaust wise now is magnaflow cat-back and a cutout in front of the magnaflow muffler. and on some people saying lt1's r slow. check out the mods in my sig. and lets put it this way i can hold my own with ls1's that have intake and exhaust work. and my car is un touched tuning wise. and lt1's being slow sure lt1's r out dated but ls1's have there flaws too. so?? sorry had to say all that. i stick by my good ol' lt1. LT1'S ALLL THE WAY!!!! ITS THE ONLY WAY!!!

I have heard an ls1 with lt's and slp lm2 and it sounded pretty sick. My lt1 with lt's and magnaflow also sounds pretty sick. Sound is basically subjective. I for one have a weak spot for the old school small block buick in my '65 skylark.

When I was stationed in CA a guy on base had a 2000ish Cobra with a Borla....

Hey now if you are going to go there, CGT all the way. No sexier exotic sound.

A GREAT sounding LS1

Either way, i think both can sound ******* awesome, neither LT1 or LS1 sound good stock.

I had a friend with a '98 Cobra with a H pipe, no cats, and Flowmasters. That thing sounded INSANE.

I can't even recall what a LT1 sounds like, but the L98 in my '88 GTA sounded real nice.
