How would one make the sound deeper? I know it'll never sound like the L99/LS3 but I think GM did have the right idea with the stock setup. I think they didn't go far enough. What do you think? Larger pipes? Larger volume mufflers? I think the idea is to make the engine sound larger. I don't want it to sound like a Nissan. I've read (I think on this site) that an H-pipe would improve the sound over the stock X-pipe to eliminate some raspiness. What about NOT joining the pipes? There's so much one can do to alter the sound. Remember how great the Buick 3.8's sounded? I mean, even at idle without the turbo spooling. I had a T-type and it sounded like sex. I have a '99 LS1 right now and of course that sounds great with a Magnaflow. I think the LLT could sound amazing with the proper setup. Not V8 great, but at least not like a Jap tuner.
