Growing up with hot rods I found the C6 to be a little tame in the sound department. I have NPP exhaust but sometimes want louder!
Now have 3 options:
1) Quiet
2) Respectable rumble
3) Wake the neighborhood!
Not a lot of room in a C6 for cut outs. Most position near the trans and leaf spring. However, with an automatic there is even less room than with a stick. I had to go to plan B. Looking around, seemed the best (only) location was before the X pipe. I did lose about 1.5” of ground clearance. Would be almost flush if you didn’t use the electric controllers. Haven’t scraped on anything yet.
I’m really pleased with the sound, a low rumble. Not extremely loud. I guess because the exhaust has gone through the cats. No popping or backfire at deceleration. Not near as loud as my C3 with mid length headers and extensions.
I didn’t want to drill holes or install switches so I used a remote control, Velcroed to the firewall near the battery.
Now I can please the wife when cruising around and impress my buddies too!
With dumps and extensions only.
With electrically controlled butterfly valves installed

Remote feature is neat....debated getting em for a long time Id get in trouble for having them open full time. lol
For sure!
We have cut outs on our Trans Am and Z-28. its a huge PITA to crawl under the car to cap/ un cap them when its time for state inspection or when you would like little less noise.

OK, I'm traveling will post when I return.
The sound clips I have heard don't relly do justice to reality, ever heard a top fuel on TV vs in person?, but better than nothing.
Very nice. Those "turn downs" they sell aren't really a turn down so I made them so. Here's my oval set connected to side pipes.
I agree. I bitched to QTP that these are not really turn downs. Luckily they worked out for me. What did you use to fab yours, piece of scrap from the extension??
