It's impossible to get that sound everyone loves without long tubes. Long tube headers gives a car that beautiful and aggressive exhaust note.

No catback exhaust can match the sound you get from long tube headers. Catbacks or muffler delete can increase the noise level, but you don't get that quality race car like sound. That comes with long tubes.

On your Camaro SS. Long tube headers, no cats, and straight pipes and your car will be extemely loud (crazy get a ticket from the cops loud). And on cold start ups it will be explosive, most your neighbors will hate you.
I'm sure it's not stock. The only LS1 I didnt have longtubes on was my c5, and yes I miss them and appreciate how loud and aggressive sounding they make a car

I guess I was driving at

Why does the LS6 sound so much better with *probably* similar longtubes/catback setups than my LS1's did (and my WS6 was cammed for christs sake, longtubes, no cats, offroad x pipe, flowmaster mufflers)

AND

LS3 v. LS6 - running identical exhaust setups (longtubes, catbacks), which one would ultimately sounds *better* or *louder* or *more aggressive* .... you'd think that .5 Liters of motor would do something

And I don't really car how they make the horsepower, whether it a Turbo, supercharged or just a whole lot of hamsters.
3.91's, TSP Longtubes, SWG Tune, Vararam, and a heavy foot
