Default Muffler Eliminator ?

I've been told that I won't get a deep sound by changing stock mufflers to "dynos", "Corsa" etc.
I want to keep the LT1, tail pipes with the Stainless extensions I have.

I am concerend about have a noisy ride inside the car.
I was told to buy "Eliminators!

Your thoughts , Please.
Thanks

i think the only way to get the sound you want is to go out and hear for yourself what they sound like...inside and out. i have elims and to me they're not that loud, but i take people in the car and they ask me how i put up with all the noise...people have different preceptions of loud and soft and what sounds good and bad. go hear some for yourself at some local vette meetings...

I have them. The difference between noise and music is in the ear of the listener. Dynamat was put in my car the weekend after the pipes went on. I love them, but my wife won't ride in it.

The first two are from inside the car(note the first video you will have to fast forward about 3 minutes, and there is a lot of wind noise)

This was recorded with a tape recorder laying in the hatch area.

I got some muffler elims up in the attic of the garage I'll see you. Make an offer, reasonable please. They were on the car for 3 months in between projects.

Damn Mr. Mojo, you're a maniac!!! Man you run that Vette! I'll bet my annual insurance premium is less than you spend on tires in a year!
Awesome videos!
