Default Track Cat Back Exhaust

I recently had the idea that I wanted to look around for a lighter weight Cat Back System for by street/track Vette. I called Burns Stainless who builds racing exhaust systems for the C6-R as well as other race teams.
Working with Vince Roman & Jack Burns they built a Ultralight race muffler system for me.
It will be shipped out next week for me to install on my car. It is mounted on Jack's Zo6 for test fitting.
They will start selling this system.

How loud is it? There doesn't look like much interior volume to those mufflers.

Good choice, the no longer made, ultra-rare light weight Katech Club Sport exhaust used Burns mufflers too. I believe that cat back exhaust system was something along the lines of 19lbs complete so this should be pretty darn light! Please keep us posted on this one especially with some sound clips if you would.

I am sure that they will not be very quiet but mt Corsa system is way too heavy and the car gets more track time then street.

Vince said someone else was going to order after I made my order.
I did the larger 3" 625 mm mufflers because they are a small amount quieter but only added less than 2 #.

Would you happen to have a ballpark (rough #) on street for this set up?

They have a street system that also makes big HP.
It is much more quite than the Ultralight but much lighter then the other systems.

Yes the Katech Club Sport used the Burns mufflers . I have no idea why they stop selling it. It was a nice system.It will be a few weeks before I work on my car to get the new system installed. I have a few other projects I need to finish first including work work. So it will be a while until we hear the sound.

Sorry when I said street I meant street price as in roughly what the set sells for. If you would prefer not to post please PM me. My car is about 90% track use so the race set would be of more interest to me anyways.

The Zo6 in the video is not using the ultra light muffler.
This is the ultra light I ordered:

Contact Vince Roman [vince@burnsstainless.com]
He is good to deal with.
