LT1's sound like poop too. I put a Flowmaster 80 series on mine a couple weeks ago. It livened up the sound a little. But, only up to a little over 3k rpms. At WOT, you can't even hear it though. And I heard a pretty nasty LS1 the other day. The kid I was in contact with when buying my rims. He has a '98 SS with shorty headers and custom catback (fabbed by Aledo Brake and Muffler) without a muffler. It sounds mean and I wouldn't have guessed that there was no muffler. Every other LS1, or even LT1, sounds horrible without a muffler on it. I think I'm going to go see them about doing it to my car, or possibly fabbing it up with a Super 40, to see if I can get louder and also a decent tone to it.

I had a gutted Series 80, no cat and 3 inch pipe (with BBK Shorty Headers)... it was loud, and sounded mean but it wasn't anywhere near as sweet as a mustang with an H (or X-pipe) and a couple of aftermarket mufflers tossed on.
I don't think it's going to be possible for any Fbody to sound as good as a Mustang. Well, 2v's atleast. I'm hoping that I'll get close to sounding as good as one, once I get the Pacesetter LT's and run a Jegs 2.5" universal x-pipe kit, with a couple of Flowmaster Super 40 or Super 44 mufflers.

Ever hear a cammed full exhaust 4v? [sm=drooldude.gif]
Actually, I have. My buddy just got rid of his cammed '99 Cobra not too long ago. I forgot about how great it sounded. It did sound better than his '04 GT he has now.

Your first mistake was buying a crappy sounding muffler, to which you now conclude to mean the LT1 sounds like poop? There are tons and tons of mufflers and catbacks out there, even a flowmaster 40 would have sounded decent.
For the record, I have a TSP rumbler w/ headers that sounds great, but am jealous of the sound of this 4.6 that drives by my work often .
You can't really complain too much about sound when you've got the torque curve that a 4.6 doesn't[8D].
Seriously though, I've heard my fair share of LT1's and LS1's with true duals that sounded mean as f**k. It's just easier to get a nice sound out of the 4.6's since they come straight out the factory with true duals. Which reminds me.........I need to upgrade my factory exhaust sometime soon. The local weed-wacker brigades are starting to drown me out in traffic.[:'(]
