Default New Exhaust!

I fiddled around with my exhaust today and am finally finished. Its stock headers and cats, no resonator, x pipe, and muffler elims and new tips. I will take pics when i get home today. It sounds incredible.


UPDATE:
Here is a few pics of the new tips.



And here is the idle

I have had many combinations of exhausts on my Vette. The best sound with least resonance is my stock exhaust with an "H" pipe near the rear and muffler elims with OEM LT1 tips.



The finished product is painted black with the tips powder coated chromelike. I run shortie headers and OEM cats.

Can you get a sound clip? Everyone i see has a stock resonator, or headers, or H pipe. I was thinking about doing eliminators and would like to hear it on another car with an X pipe like what i have

Well i origionally had muffler elims and everything else stock. when i got the x pipe in, it had a much louder idle and at low rpms it was much louder as well. Once you hit 3500 its just a bit louder than the muffler elims i think. But i will def post some sound clips, altho i never think vids do exhaust any justice.
