Who really cares at the end of the day? I sure in the hell don't you guys like the mustang sound so much go buy one of the god damn things! be sure to get you a early SN95 with a 4.6 and a auto so you can hear the exhaust longer while your struggling to reach the posted speed limit! sheesh!

Verdad Gallardo Not really, sure they sound good, the SC cobras run great. If ya want your LS1 to sound like one trade it in on one. Thats all I'm saying This is post is 5 pages of nothingness. 8 second Toyaota Supra owners don't complaing they wish their cars sound like stangs. I everyone hates how their LS1 sounds they should of bought a stang to start with.

It is stock with a lid and flowmaster muffler that was on it when i bought it. I definitely wouldnt trade it for a non-blown stang though

Add a twin turbo kit exhaling through open downpipes. Here's a soundclip.

that being said, i think another big culprit is the exhaust layout. mustangs have true duals and f-bodies don't - and when they do, all they use are bullet mufflers. dynomax bullets, magnaflow bullets, sweet thunders, spiral flows...all bullet mufflers. i think the reason why single chambers sound the best and come closest to the mustang sound is because they're the CLOSEST to a real muffler we can fit! if we could put 2 40 series flowmaster mufflers in a TD setup, i bet it would sound AMAZING, way better than even single chambers. if i had money, i'd do it.

An F-body with LT's, H-pipe, dual mufflers in front of the axle and rear tail pipes that exit on either side at the bumper would be perfect - if you could make it fit around the panhard bar...
