While we're on the topic of exhausts...
Does anyone know how to get the sound (or one very close to it) of the stock LT1 Camaros and Firebirds? (Early fourthgen; 1993-1997, the LS1-powered models from 1998 on sound, how should I say it, a little fruity in comparison, at least around town. WOT is nice, though. I think that's more a factor of engine, anyway...)

I don't think you'd find my 99 T/A sounding fruity. I'm running an uncapped cut-out all the time and it sounds mean as hell.
I understand what you mean though. I hated the sound of this car stock.
I would guess that you could duplicate the sound of an LT1 with an an "old school" SBC by just duplicating the exhaust setup. If you use the same diameter pipe, the same material i.e. stainless or whatever, and use the same muffler set-up, I would think they would come close to sounding the same. However things like resonation and dampening would be unique to the vehicle.
