I agree, it sounds like a ricer exhaust, but only deeper and louder. AWFUL sound for a V8 muscle car IMHO.

hmmm ricey is no good. havent heard many ls1's with no cats and headers. and especially not from that low in the rev range. no cats equals rasp correct? what about headers with cats? would it still be raspy?

Its the 'raging bumble-bee' sound like all the import cars, except lower and louder. From 2200-2500 my camaro sounds like a damn jap car! I'm running off-road pipes with only a bullet muffler.

I don`t have any sound clips but you wouldn`t like it.It sounds like a fart,or a 6cyl. with a glasspack muffler,or kind of ricey.
