Default LC500 exhaust sound for isf?

I took a test drive in the LC today and the exhaust note is fantastic. Which aftermarket exhaust sounds closest to the lc?

BTW, rest of the car was meh. For a car that size it felt very cramped. Acceleration was smooth but felt slow.

I will admit, the GSF and LC500 definitely sound better/louder than the ISF's factory exhaust, but do not hold a candle to the aftermarket units such as the Joe Z, etc

I believe a good bit of what you're hearing is "synthetic" if you're talking about the in-cabin noise. There's a resonance tube connecting the intake to the firewall which sends some of the good noise into the cabin.

I don't really mind it, to be honest. Besides, the LC sounds great when heard from outside too thanks to the active exhaust.

LC sounds like it has no cats, crackles and gargles just like a V8 should. I don’t think the ISF can make similar sound to that of LC. I have had multiple exhaust setups including joe z, ppe, both with different type of cats and without....

Someone needs to get their hands on a used lc exhaust and see what it's made up of.

From all the YouTube interrogating I’ve done, I think JoeZ and X-Force offer the two closest sounds to the LC500

In the days of carburetors, noises like that would be an embarrassment to the tuner. I am plenty happy my car does NOT act like it has a bad tune.
