True duals with 16" cans...talk about loud!

Add 2 oversize "echo-chamber" tips to that. I have seen and heard it done and it was very loud.

I would have to say that that is the worst sounding setup I've ever heard on an LS1.

Yeah get some LT open headers and put a huge cam in it and it will be loud as hell. better yet buy a stroked out ls2 shortblock, build it and run open headers.

Ive been driving the ta around since sunday open header. It sounds so bad ***, but it is crazy loud. IF i see a cop anywhere, i just push in the clutch and let the rpms fall, and roll past them. I cant get anywhere near the speed limit without drawing a ton of attention. You can hear the car for every to if i get on it. Anyways, If you want the loudest possible its longtubes, with td's for sure. Bullets are the loudest mufflers ive heard, im personally going with a custom x, moroso spiral flow's, and turn downs, all 3 inch mandrel bent. Go Td, and never look back.
