Official LSx Exhaust Sound Thread

[Jesterarts]

Hey all,

This is something that I've been thinking about trying out for a while but never got around to it due to the fact I don't own a vehicle with an LSX motor in it. (Yet!)

The most commonly asked questions around exhausts is "How will this sound?"

So, if things go to plan, this will be the one stop shop resource thread where members can come and listen to other members exhaust clips without needing to trawl through endless opinions and compliments which are not much help.

So here is the format to use if you're posting a audio/video clip of your exhaust system:

Vehicle: Year, Model. That's all we need here
Motor: LS1, LS2, etc
Transmission: Useful to know so people know if it drones with auto or manual, etc
Other Mods: List any other modification you have done to the vehicle. This would be the place to mention you've cammed it.
Exhaust Details: Please provide as much detail about the system you have as possible. Brand, Diameter, muffler configuration, Header type, Cat PSI, H-Pipe, Kiss Pipe or X-Pipe and so one. Anything another member would need to know so they could go to an exhaust place and tell them exactly what they want.
Price: Total price of the system.
Video(s): This is obvious, either embed the play in the page or simply link to where the video/clip is.
Comments: Brief comment about the system, operative word being "brief". Tell us if it hangs too low, if it drones at 80kmph, etc.

Rules for this thread:
1. No chatting, this is purely a resource thread. IF you want to comment or have questions just PM the poster. Any chatting will be removed.
2. No videos that break standard site rules.
3. Must post video or audio clip.
4. No chatting, seriously.

Price: NFI. The Xforces in Mild Steel go for about $650. Pacemakers go for about $800 and I imagine the cats are about $200 a pop so about $1850 all up?

Comments: I've had some alignment issues with this system and it's still not perfect. I have 4.11 gears to cruising @ 100kmph is a bit droney but I don't really notice it over the music.
Yes, I am going to resolve that annoying rattle right at the end when I turn the car off.
