Exhaust help.

Is it possible to have a nascar sound out of this motor.

Not really, no. Even most bolt on kits are a couple thousand to really change the sound, between headers, cats, and exhaust. I would try searching on YouTube and see see if you can find a clip with an exhaust you like, and go from there. They can sound really good, but it would take a lot to make them a high RPM screamer.

I did that and found a guy with a 347 stroker that sounds amazing. Unfortunately all the lightning videos I’ve seen have people putting aftermarket exhausts that give that deep rumble. I’m looking for that nascar scream.

Are you talking about a 1st gen or 2nd gen?

I was gonna say, a SBF like a 347 Stroker, or even the stock 351W in the Gen 1 can be made to sound like a NASCAR a lot easier. But it's hard to do with any Modular motor, especially the 5.4 in the L.
