I don't have this exact kind of setup but, believe me, flowmasters have one of the most unique and sexy sounds out there. Most people say they resonate for general reasons(no resonator or tips too close to the bumper), but it can be made to have very little resonance at all. I believe this particular cat-back, on a stock LT1 exhaust, will sound similar to stock but more throaty and have very slight resonance, most likely unnoticeable at cruise or idle.

IMHO, the best sounding C4 LTx cat-back. I've been running the Force II system for ~13 years. My Dad helped me do the install and as soon as I started the car Dad said "That is what a Corvette is suppose to sound like"!!.

I don't have your Flowmaster set up, but I also run Flowmasters on my car with a hi-flow cat, along with TPIS long tube headers.......my car sounds aggressive (it is) and I really like the tone......others here will disagree, but I have been running this exhaust for several years as well; not the prettiest to look at from the back, but if you like the muscle car sound ( I do; after all it is a small block Chevy)

I do not have Flow Masters but a friend does and he cannot stand to be in the car on longer trips. Even two hours in the car literally gives you a headache. He is ditching his set up for something else. YMMV.

I agree, my flowmaster does have a bit of a drone even at cruising speed and I find my ears ring from it. I'll likely be switching over to corsa. But it doesn't bother me when I have the roof off, it sounds great.
