For a true muscle car try MOPAR......the sound at idle of a 426 HEMI has NO equal.....

Well it's not the only way but glad you like yours! My LT1 sounded decent stock but liked to pop on decel A LOT. Bought my LS1 with a Flowmaster with 3 inch tips installed already and it did have a very nice sound to it but didn't flow worth a crap as we all know. Installed a Magnaflow and it's cammed now, cammed LS1 with Magnaflow is definitely nice sounding at idle and downright mean sounding when you open it up!

i remember last summer at englishtown a guy brought his challenger on a trailer and all you could hear was that hypnotizing hemi sound. plus the damn thing had parachutes and you could see the 9" dead center of the ***. you have to be there to hear that hemi sound.

best sounding LS motor I have ever heard.

still kinda miss my old cammed lt1. sounded great through the hooker long tubes and elec cutout. cutout was open in this clip. i had a cheap flowmaster muffler on it that sounded ok, but nowhere near as good as dumping it out the y pipe

My LT1 sounded sweet with the Hotcam.
Personally I love the sound of 402 Stroker with the big Cam in it..expecially with the Cut Out open, it sounds like a Big Block..
Yes..expecially a nice low rpm roll-out from a stop in 2nd gear..
Here is an Idle vid of mine, trying to hold 1000RPMs..

there was a local car show that had a pipe rap competition and i was told mine sounded better and louder than a Buick GN with a big block conversion that was there competing as well. He was in front of me and i thought it sounded nice but i guess with a decibel reader i was louder

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!!!
Your right, an LT1 is only a CAI, cat-back, and UDP away from being an LS1 lol
Sorry dude.
Unless by hold your own you mean hangout 4 cars back. Having had an LT1, LS1, and now an LS2, LSx flaws are minimal compared to the LT1. My LT1 had more mood swings than a lady in menopause. Last edited by SchultzLT1; 09-13-2008 at 01:41 PM.
