its hard to be raspless on an LS1. from what i've heard, jmm98LS1 has the most raspless setup. an X-H crossover pipe (closer to an H-pipe) with single chamber flowmasters. they're gonna give you the least amount of rasp from the clips i've heard. they'll give you some drone though if they're dumped.

conversely, sweet thunders seem to rasp the most.

Negative.....no rasp and no drone whatsoever with my setup. I don't know if the H-pipe plays into that at all, but it sounds great.

i'm saying generally. the sound clips i've heard, mind you, sound clips, with an X-pipe and ST's rasp a bit. i suppose an H-pipe could clear this up since it's deeper and covers up that popping more. also, if your car is tuned i hear that gets rid of some of the popping.

I went with the Flo-Pro twisters, and that seems to cure most rasp and cuts waaaay back on the drone.

Drone and rasp are hard to hear on a recorded sample.
