any stock or turbo style muffler, his will never sound like a C6 as its a Gen 1.
The more power you have the louder it gets under WOT

Are you talking about the dual mode NPP exhaust where based on rpm a valve opens to a louder bypass? B&B makes their fusion exhaust that works like that. Not sure on the specifics of the install (ie, can you set the trigger point, do you run wiring pr vacuum to the back, etc).

You can usually find NPP take off mufflers reasomably, and I'm sure you could build a system to operate them with tach signal and a small iv and valving.

My stock LT1 mufflers are pretty darn quiet....but nothing is as quiet as an (LS2) C6. Even our Caddy is louder and ballsier sounding than my C6 was.

Fact is the LS cylinder firing order is different:

LS = 18726543*
Except LS = 18436572

*Same cylinder firing order as the Ford modular motors, except Ford's cylinder numbering scheme is different.
