Default sounds like a corvette??

what is it that makes the C5s and C6s sound the way they do? i think it's one of the best sounds in the world and i'm just wondering why vettes sound that way but camaros/TAs sound so much different. same engine, right? different exhaust i know, but i saw a car with an ls1 out of a vette and it STILL sounded like one. i was gonna make an ls1 swap car and wanted it to sound like a vette but i have no idea how. i'm lost. anything?

I beleive it has to do with vette's having dual exhaust with an h-pipe and the lenght of the car.

They have duals, different mufflers, different intake setup, different exhaust manifold, different everything related to exhaust, different car.

GTO's sound similiar to the vettes though stock for stock so I'm willing to bet most of it is the minimally functional hpipe and the true duals.

the vettes frame has an effect. and the piping direction and length. you could get its mufflers and have dual with same pipes and still not sound the same. it also sounds different in an ultima or gtm just from the different frame (as well as exhaust of course).

NO! The post is gone now, but right after your post was somebody who posted jumbled garbage. Something about psychology with a bunch of random links. Sorry, we were commenting on that post, not yours.

That's it!!!! Wow, no wonder Vettes are SO much faster than shitty Camaro's and Trans Am's!!!!














In an LS1, it's the same cam. The only different cam is the C5 ZO6. As for C6 Vettes, apples and oranges. LS1 vs. LS2/3
