No exhaust will get the job done. If you really want the sound of a flat plane V8 you simply have to put a flat plane crankshaft in the car. The flatplane crank has a LRLRLRLR bank firing order, the LSx has an LRLRRLRL firing order, this is one reason we have to use an H-pipe of X-pipe to properly balance the two engine banks with the exhaust capabilities. WIth equal intake and exhaust intervals from both banks, it is easier to get the helmholts resonators (intakes air boxes) and equal length headers to sould like even and well balanced.

A easy way to make your Corvette sound like a Ferrari is to buy a Ferrari and put C6 badges on it, there, problem solved.

Of course, I would have to question why a person would want an American V8 sound like an Europeening car, what, you are ashamed :o of America?

I know how to make it sound European. Swap out the engine for a 1980s MB 300SD engine. That'll sound real European; can't mistake it!

I gave thought to this the first time I watched Steve McQueen's LeMans movie. That sound of the cars flat out is too cool. Its kind of a metallic sound rather than a roar. Certainly not better than American V8, but worthy of a second, third, and .... watching of the movie to hear it.

The European sound first got my attention at Sebring in the late '60's. The high pitch whine of the Ferraris coming around was unmistakable. But the LOUD American V-8 has always been my favorite.

Easy way to make it sound European:

Step 1: Turn it off;
Step 2: Get a piece of paper and pen;
Step 3: Write apology note re: repair parts still shipping over from Europe.
Step 4: Bill self $1,500
