#2 Knock module does not have any effect on sound, you must have been stoned or something and put the caps back on your cut offs and forgot about it. Look under your car....Oh Also If the car was in a garage or carport when you thought it was louder than it is now that would be a reason. Tall buildings and garages make the cars exhaust resonate and sound louder......
#3...if #2 does nto apply then you have a littel green leaprachaun hiding in your Flowmaster stealing all your exhaust sounds and smoking a DooBie

In all seriousness here...
I have NEVER heard of the knock module having anything to do with how the exhaust sounds on the car.
The differences between the LT1 KM and the LT4 KM are basically that the LT4 does a better job of filtering out noises that were not knock but the LT1 knock module would see as knock causing the PCM to retard timing when it doesn't need to.
Perfect example of the noise that the LT4 KM was designed to deal with: Roller Rockers.. Headers can also cause your LT1 KM to pick up on knock and make the PCM retard timing.
As for the other, I am going to comment here, but I'm not meaning to clown on you so forgive me if I come off that way...
Most Camaro SS owners (owners of real SSes anyway) are very protective of the badging, as they should be (in my opinion). They take it to offense if someone puts the added stuff on the car and badges it as an SS because it did not start life as an SS.
Granted I understand why you wrote it the way you did in your sig, basically a Z28 with SS stuff added to it, and I don't think you're calling it an SS, but others might misinterpret what you type.
For example, I have a Firebird Formula, which is basically a Trans-Am without the badging. There are other slight differences, I'm not sure of all of them as I don't really care. But if I were to make the adjustments to the car, I wouldn't want to call my car a Formula/Trans-Am because it's not a Trans-Am, it's a Formula with some Trans-Am parts... I hope you understand what I mean here and don't take me to offense because I don't mean any.
As for your thermostat deal, it is a little confusing at first glance, you might want to say Thermostat: 180 Winter/160 Summer. That would make it obvious what you mean at first glance.
Hope my info about the knock module above helps...

God you guys are *******s he asked a simple question so answer it without being jerks Ive seen some terrible questions asked on this forum before where everyone was still polite. Half the damn nation smokes weed, I dont, never have never will but dont jump all over him for it cause more than likely hes not the only one on here who does 
Although I dont think there should have been a difference in sound from the lt4 knock module definetely wasnt when I did it, maybe something else happened to make it sound different.... maybe??lol and with a name like tripintaz who are you making fun of for being a stoner, not saying you are but just something to think about..... maybe your not serious

Don't insult me...People that take their car seriously like myself take offense to someone trying to replicate a unique, individual numbered car. If you want to call it a z28/SS thats your preferance, don't insult the fact that people like myself spent the extra $$$ to buy a piece of GM history.
