Default exhaust system

I'm wanting to put a new exhaust and muffler system on my 82 CE vette. Should I go stock or maybe Borla or something else. Nothing loud for sure. Any suggestions? Thanks

You have just opened a large can of worms as everyone will have an (conflicting) opinion.


I'd grab a beer and spend some time on YouTube watching-- and listening-- to different C3 exhausts. The listen part will tell you much more than reading anyone's words

Magnaflow? Every car will sound different because if headers, cam or cubic inches.

anything I have seen or heard from borla is great but so is the price tag.Magnaflow has some nice stuff for fair prices.factory will be quiet.but the other choices are better. IMO
