dont just buy an X1 cam. The sound of the cam is because its a 112LSA. the lower the number on LSa the stonger the sound will be. A stock LS1 on a 99 motor i believe is a 117LSa and in 2001-2002 they moved the LSA down to a 116LSA. I think alot of people would agree with me. If you want a cam you also need to get a good set of heads. Also with the sound the true duals play a big part in the sound. Dont just pick a cam out of a catolog from what you heard through your computer speakers hear it in person for yourself. Every camera has a different sound recording device. you could record that car with for example a sony and a canon video camera and the car could sound alot different. I dont know if your car is an auto or manual but just to make things easier when buying a cam if you have an auto go with a 114LSA if you have an manual go with a 112LSA. for an auto to have anything smaller than a 114LSA you need someone who can give you a really good tune.

A custom grind cam is what you want. Find someone who can custom grind you a cam to your needs. I am sure as long as your on a 112LSA with true duals you will get close to that sound.
