350 Vortec with 5.3 Vortec exhaust.
If I use as close as possible exhaust setup, how similar can a 350 vortec sound from a 5.3 vortec?
I have been searching for an exhaust setup for my truck for some time now, I finally found one that I like but the problem is that it's for a different engine. The truck that has the setup is an LM7 5.3 vortec and the truck I have has the L31 350 vortec. They are completely different engines, I know, but I was wondering if parts are identical if possible or at least the closest possible (mufflers, pipe size, headers, even use same brands) how similar would the sound be? The problem I've seen, or heard in this case, with the 350 is that normally changing the exhaust makes it sound kind of obnoxiously loud or like it has an exhaust leak or a busted muffler, but the 5.3 sounds more sporty, aggressive, or however you wanna call it. If done properly, is this possible or should I just keep looking for an engine specific setup?
