I've tried a few different exhaust sytems, and I'm convinced an LS1 will never sound like a big block of old. Someone said it's the firing order . . . anyway, I think you just have to appriciate it for it's exotic car, high-revin' sound. Another thing is, as long as you're running through cats, it will never be all that loud, even with straight pipes.

GMMG.........Your search has ended! The sound is deep and refined.......yet tastefully loud enough to make you smile when you put your foot into it! The chambered mufflers are just like they used to put on the old Chevys so you will love the sound.
