CodeBlueZO6

....BOTH WHEN OPEN.
I keep going back and forth between the two. I read great reviews/posts on both. I'm just looking for an improved/louder/meaner sound with the ability to tune in down on the highway. I'm just having a hard time thinking $2k is worth a SOUND. IF I was to get increased performance (that is noticable) maybe it would be easier. Need some advice. Getting antsy to do something within the next week.

Thanks!

Take your time. Try and listen to various systems and ride in the car if you can. Biggest problem is drone.

CodeBlueZO6

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone in my area (ATL) who has the two exhausts.
Which drones worse? I've been reading the modded muffler doesn't drone when closed while the B&B does some when closed.

I was absolutely blown away by the sound of the modded mufflers. Cost a total of $80 and rivals any cat-back system. When closed, completely silent, just like stock. Open them up, and it absolutely roars! Its not a cheap alternative, its exactly the way the car should've sounded and been setup from the factory. There is minimal drone when open at cruising speeds, so little that I rarely, if ever, close it. It sounds amazing and is also still completely reversible. Really the best of both worlds.

That is correct. Muffer mod is louder when open. I have done both.

guys im in the market for an exhaust system and im so lost between Corsa and the B&B

reason why i love B&B is sound but hate the drone everyone is talkin about

reason why i love the corsa is no drone but doesnt sound as good as the Corsa

i'll be installing a AR headers too so help guys ppl with those 2 exhausts some feedback plz

Z0sic,

without headers, I love the corsa. With headers, I like my exhaust to have the option (butterfly valve). Weather it be the stock exhaust or B&B. I had the corsal before installed headers & love it. But once the header was installed, the corsa had to go so I went back to stock.

The B & B fusion is one of the highest quality exhaust systems I have ever seen or put on a car. The sound is every bit as good as the looks, but it will drone at a steady 2000 to 2500 rpm. They all do to some extent. If I want a nice quiet ride, I jump in my wife's 07 vert. However, every once in a while...........OK, maybe a lot more often, you really want to hear those ponies scream.

By the way, my buddy also did the B & B, then went ahead with Kooks headers, Katech cam kit, tune, etc, and the dyno showed 2 more HP with the mufflers closed vs. open. Now you ought to hear his exhaust with the mods......sounds like the proverbial 800 lb gorilla. You can actually feel the pounding in your chest.

Do the CORSA. I had them in my Z06 with Kooks Headers w/o cats.. no drone with an intoxicating sound.

I've done both also. Liked the mod sound, but like the looks and sound even more with the Fusions.

Completely satisfied by the $250. mod. You Tube Clips dont do any system justice. Worst you can be is out the $250.

DSteck

You do realize that the valves open after 3500rpm anyway, right? So if he picked up 2hp, it's a fluke.



I have modified Z06 mufflers on my (with a big *** cam in the car and catless headers), and the guy who did mine said the Z06 mufflers are quieter when closed and louder when open than Fusions. There's a local guy with an extremely similar setup to me, except he has Fusions, and his car was the comparison. Personally I love how mine sounds with the modded mufflers... but if you have a stock cam, it's going to sound like a bass boat.

If you want loud/mean check out the LG GT4 cat-back. I also have the LG Pro long tubes, HF cats and X Pipe and it is LOUD!!!! The drone is pretty bad at low speeds and cruising at at 2,000 - 2,300 rpm's.

Have Katech (#29) that with first go around installed Fusions on top of Stage 1 Katech - loved sound (old muscle car rumble) but yes did have some drone <2k. Second addition was kooks headers and high flow cats (had already installed LG switch on console). Drone <2k was really bad. Installed floor dynamat (better) but real improvement was adding Vortex inserts in outside exhausts tips. No performance changes (these are the "muffled" exhausts) and drone gone both open and closed. Do search in forum regarding these.

If you decide to go with the mod, then post up where you had it done. I am thinking about doing the same, but I don't know where to have it done, or if I would just go with a different setup.

Please explain what the modded muffler consists of for a total cost of $80? 2 benefits i see - low cost and easily reversible

thanks

I am in the same boat. I am going muffler mod and the worst case scenario is that I buy the BB fusion later on if I don't like the sound. everyone I hear loves the muffler mod though so I am confident I will like it. I plan to spend the fusion money on some Pfadt coilovers

I got quoted 200 to get the job done. I don't have a lift so has anyone done this mod with jack stands, or should I stop being cheap and pay the 2 hundred. I don't weld but can have a friend weld.

PS, the fusion definitely wins in the "looks" category....nice looking set of pipes

DSteck

If you're in St. Louis, I know somebody who will do it. They did it to mine during a clutch swap. It's not really reversible, though, depending on how you do it. There's the option of adding a switch to open the mufflers any time you want, but everybody here is talking about cutting them open to do some internal changes.

Man just do this, it is perfect: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...-ing-loud.html
