Most European Sounding Exhaust

I agree w/ the Mustang exhaust note being "mo bettah" than the old (pre-LS) Chevy V8s, including the LT5.

However, the firing order (the actual cylinder position firing order, shall we say) of the LS motors is now the same as the FORD 5.0, 351s (both), 400, and the modular V8s

Attached is a chart of "Common Firing Orders". If you trace the firing orders of the FORD V8s and the newer GM LSx V8s, beginning at the #1 cylinder for the LS and the #5 cylinder for the FORD engine and proceed to trace the routes, you'll notice the cylinder position firing orders are identical.

The difference in these examples (I'm told) is in the firing order dictated by the cam(s). One could (I suppose) start with billet cams and grind the LT5 cams to emulate LS and FORD firing orders.

Start with the lower right cylinder in the LS and Ford motors and trace the position of the cylinder firing order and see whacha discover!
