ChadC Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 yes she was a big block.but can a LS1 engine sound like that ( or like the Mustang in Steve's video)?..serious question. Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I agree in part with Phil. A cam and aftermarket exhaust will make an LS1 sound great but I don't think you'll ever make a LS1 sound like a big block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Mulvey Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 My Mustang is a 302... I had a single chamber flowmaster and 3 inch pipe on a 1LE LT1 Camaro and it sounded like a TransAm 310 when you wound it up. I am an expert on irritating the neighbours and race mufflers are the hot ticket . You work nearby my house (at least you have an office near here) Give me a call and I will bring the Mustang over so you can hear it firsthand, the video makes the fuel pump sound like a dentist's drill... it isn't quite as loud as that.. 602-228-3911steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't make anything sound like a big block - there's just no way to fake a long stroke and big pistons. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an authority. The LS7 is a small block 427. The 402 is a small block engine too and I just don't think you're going to get that sound from a small block no matter what you do to the exhaust. You might get close but I think you would still be able to tell the difference. Maybe one of the tuners will check in - they might know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud Pedal Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 The Z is a 427 (ish), but it certainly doesn't sound like a big block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kens06 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Can't do it with an LS gen IV and still make HP!My '96 LT-4 with a chambered exhaust came REALLY close!!No X/H pipe but really choked exhaust flow over 4K rpm!!The X/H pipe smooths the flow and makes HP but you lose the 60's sound!!I wish I had a vid of the '96!! SWEET sound!!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricmin Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 The biggest reason why it won't sound like a BBC, is the firing order. These New LSX engines do have an unique sound to them. It actually took me a while to get used to it as I have been playing with Chevs for almost 30 years now. It just didn't sound "Right" to me. Actually that was the 1st thing I noticed when the LS1 came out as I always had built up SB and BB Chevys. I think it is possible to get a BBC to sound like an LSX engine. For instance a BBC with a 4&7 swap cam sounds a lot like an LSX engine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratch Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Rings a bell, but I believe I heard Flowmaster has a C5 exhaust that gives it a rumble similar to the sound you may be looking for. Seems that those that purchased Flowmasters, soon were getting rid of them because of to much rumble. Maybe something to do with the drone in auto's.Ask a wider audience in C5 Gen section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single chambers don't do that http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/race.htmlTrust me, one of my neighbour actually moved away because of my cars when I lived in Cali...

Guest Kens06 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 The sound comes from the 'straight pipe' exhaust of the pre X/H pipe era!!The old firing order 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 was changed to 1-8-6-5-4-3-7-2 to take advantage of scavaging with the H/X pipe!!"Back in the days" to get our exotic sound you needed to get 180 degree headers to produce the same effect!!Remove the X pipe and go straight back and you will be amazed at the difference in the sound!!Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken, I'm about to put long tubes, hi-flo cats, and an x-pipe on with my already awesome B&B bullets. What you're saying is the car will sound better with no x-pipe? So the x-pipe just helps with exhaust scavaging and killing "highway" drone? Which way gives more hp, and how much more? If its not that much hp difference then, well....I know its more 'show than go' but I'd rather have it sound super-badass than just badass, ya know? I too know and enjoy the look of peeved neighbors when I play with my toys in the cul-de-sac. It's become kind of a competition between me, the idiot with the 4x4 golf cart, and the punk with the Yamaha 4-stroke dirtbike. Thanks for any advice! - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccaneer Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 It isn't gonna happen, but a nice SBC sounds meaner than a big block if done right. A Mustang 5.0 with an E303 cam sounds nice and mean with no cats. If you really want big block sound, put a big block in it which really may not be feasible.

MOTV8 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hell, I just wanna know if I should leave off the x-pipe! Would it sound THAT much better? Anybody with straight pipes?You can come over and rev that shit anytime, bro'. Its not like I'm losing though....between the truck, vette, and bike - I've got the best sounding garage on the block!
