Morgan-McClure X Pipe Exhaust Sound Test: "Stock" LS Swap Longtube Headers (Science of Sound Pt1)

What happens here

The presenter attempts to temporarily install the NASCAR race car exhaust. It becomes immediately apparent that the system is too wide for the Monte Carlo's chassis and hits the transmission cross-member. Despite the poor fit, he decides to secure it temporarily for a quick sound test. An assistant records the sound with a smartphone. The car is started, producing a very loud and aggressive tone, but the presenter notes it still sounds too similar to a standard LS car and lacks the desired unique howl. He theorizes the headers are still the problem.

Goal: Evaluate the fitment of the race car exhaust and listen to its sound profile.

but it'll at least work well enough to make sounds and do some sound testing we'll have to find some way to temporarily hold it up so we can drive around and like you know get some sounds other than sitting on jack stands idling but i can't wait i need to hear what it sounds like right now so we're gonna fire this thing up real quick just for a few seconds because we're still inside and logan's gonna film with her phone so we have an alternate source of sound just for comparisons because you know phone video to gopro sounds different sometimes you know the photographer stands for your like sumo squat looks like you're taking a dump yeah what [Music] no no we need new headers it still sounds the same is it just is it just me or does it still sound the same that sounded a little bit better is a little bit better it does sound better more violent it yeah it's like verbally sounding yeah i think yeah the the way that the sound bounces through the three and a half inch pipe i think just gives it a little bit more rattle i don't know i'm not i'm not i just have to say i spent so much time cleaning up so much and mitchell's boxes are blown out everywhere again oh yes they're all my boxes yeah they are your boxes yours yours yours yours yours
