No muffler? anyone got sound clips/vids of a stock LT1 without a muffler? (Stock manifolds/cats.) I cant seem to find any. Would there be any power gains from doing that?

i had a cutout on my y after the cat (just before the turn up to go over the axle) and it was pretty loud, but i lost torque cause there wasnt as much backpressure
also it make the car vibrate a lot more cause of the resonance on the ground...

i dont have clips but i can vouch for it being quiet cruising and loud as hell at wot. and if youre looking for a setup i just took mine off for a true dual setup with my 383.

I think at WOT open cutout sounds great! I just couldn't enjoy things, like rock music, or holding a conversation without having to half yell.
Here's my car with the open cutout, I have BBK shorties on the car instead of manifolds though. It is really loud, in the inside shot part of the vid, my windows are up!
My car, open cutout, up to around 110mph.

i've cut my muffler off and it made it sound decent but i only lost .10 in the 1/4.. but mine was really loud after my build of the motor and running open long tubes lol.. with no muffler they seem to pop alot more and it really gets annoying...

My personal preference, I'd rather hear a car that sounds clean and tight than just loud and obnoxious. Any redneck can take a sawzall to his muffler -- and honestly that's basically what it'll sound like. The hair on the back of your head may already be growing longer...
Get a cutout -- that way you can only be obnoxious half the time. You still won't pick up any power, but long trips will be bearable. You really won't see any gains until you've got heads/cam or something similar. And even then the gains are minimal.
