New girl with an LS1 who prefers a car with balls : )

I've been running a Corsa with LTs, ORY, and open cutout for about 4 months. Got a ticket last week for excessive noise. The cop was baffled when he saw I actually had a muffler. It sounded great, but was a little loud for my small town popo. I closed the cutout and will probably open it back up in a couple weeks.
The sound of a good exhaust at high volume never gets old in these cars, until you have to pay the city to have it.

Thank you!... Yes, after I change the flowmaster exhaust(which I can't stand, it has no *****). Not sure what exhaust I want yet. Maybe borla exhaust... I plan on getting headers and getting it cammed. So far that's on the list. I'm up for more suggestions. I wanna eat everything on the street.

I HATE imports and I HATE POS stangs. I can't stand them. Every time I pass by a mustang, I make a disgusting look and say eww, disgusting!! Lol at clean car... I just got it a few days ago. Don't worry, work will come to it soon.

Autos are only faster against people who cannot drive a manual transmission... (I'm usually too blinded by the shift light to remember what I'm doing... ahhh something shiney) Seriously tho, I've seen plenty of autos get owned by sticks when the auto put down more power.
I agree with leaving it a hardtop, unless what you're into is cruising around and having people look at your hair waving in the breeze, hardtop is better for the track.

WELCOME TO LS1TECH. far as your exhaust goes you could do the borla cutout exhaust setup.u can quiet her down or make her scream.and of course good set of headers.and if u want u can get ls6 intake and nice mild cam.and a good TUNE.

Lol I just got her a few days ago. Yes she needs work done to her to be up to par with a lot of your cars BUT all I know is I'm a proud LS1 owner that smokes mustangs and all I have is the B4C and bs exhaust. Before I had my Z I used to drive my brothers Z and smoke Stangs in it all day.

Thank you : ) and I will definitely keep that in mind. I appreciate everyone's input and suggestions. They will have a big part in my decisions.

The SBC in my Nova has only a baby cam and stock compression, but with LT headers and true duals with Flowmaster 40-series mufflers, it sounds about 5 times louder than a stock LS1 with manifolds/cats and an 80-series muffler.

Haha....you think it's ball-less because your Flowmaster is probably an 80-series crossflow with stock cats and manifolds. If you heard a car with headers, no cats, and true duals with Flowmaster 10-series, 40-series or Super 44, you would not say that.

Well yea I know that which is why I want a better exhaust that'll sound meaner along with everything else i'm having done to it. Either gmmg or borla for me. I understand the headers and cam is a big difference but I know there's exhausts that sound a lot better than mine with out headers and cam
