I don't think you can make a flat crank V-8 much larger than the Modena's which is 3.6L.

they have exotic car sounds because they have v-10's and exhaust systems that make the GMMG seem cheap. to me fbody's are the modern day muscle car and i'd like to keep them that way. just my .02

The most exotic soundin ls1 Ive heard had h/c grot stlye header(equal length) xpipe and dynomax ultraflo mufflers. Sounded very smooth. The key to a good sound is equal length long tubes, equal length xpipe, and real mufflers that are straight through like borlas, magnaflows, or dynomax.
The Corsa "pace car" exhaust system for the C5 is about the closest thing to an exotic sound that I've heard out of an LS1...here's a link...be sure to listen to #2...enjoy:

Would Aftermarket Headers & Exhaust Void Facotry Warranty? Thinking of getting ASM Headers & Corsa Exhaust, just wondering if the aftermarket headers would void my extended Warranty that I bought with my truck. I know that the Corsa Exhaust will NOT void my warranty just not sure about the ASM Headers. If anyone knows anything about my warranty question please let me know.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The most important factor in smoothing out the exhaust tone is equal length in the header primary tubes and equal distance from the header collector to an x-pipe on both banks. If you don't have equal length, it will sound like a Chevy.
I would be willing to bet there isn't a single header on the market for the LS1 f-body that has equal length primary tubes. They may claim it...but whip out your tape measure and check it.
Additionally, since the y-pipe junction is offset to the passenger side, the lengths from the header collectors to the y-pipe junction are very different. It's a recipe for a crappy exhaust no matter how you look at it. It may get the job done, but it could be vastly improved. There just isn't much room.
The Corvette's have a big advantage in this area. Check out LG Motorsports header system for the C5 ...looks awesome, sounds awesome. Good luck with it on the f-body. Fully custom will start you one the right track

The GMMG is cheap relatively. I paid $ 980 (if memory serves correctly) for two cans and mid pipes on my motorcycle. They can get ALOT more expensive.
The responses here are what I would have expected on LS1.com, not LS1 TECH. BTW this is a 700+ HP twin turbo and I'm designing the exhaust system and thought there was some good info out there. A few of you gave me some insight, so thanks.
As for an LS! not"supposed to sound exotic", well you can say an LS1 is not supposed to have twin turbos either. Its the unique sound I am after.

I'd say definately go with an X-pipe setup with some mufflers that are high pitched sounding. This is about the closest you'll get.
