I'm looking too and thinking about constructing my own muffler eliminators with some nice tips. I'm all about DIY. A guy who has a '94 with a B&B came by my work the other day and says he'll bring the car by for me to listen to. If it sounds good enough I might spring for that. I just have to hear it in person to be convinced.

Can you elaborate a little more for me on the sound at both idle and WOT? Thanks
Another option was Borla (mufflers only) for $457.00
thanks for the help guys!

I went from stock to Borla mufflers and "Y" pipe on my 84. At idle it has and nice deep throaty sound to it, and we you get on the gas she sounds real nice. Everyone says it sounds like "silent thunder". They are expensive though cost me at total of around $750, but worth it.

If you use "search" there are many many threads on this topic as it is one that is discussed endlessly.
First you indicated that you wanted the loudest & nicest sounding however then you made mention of having it tolarable while idling.
I think that all of the systems mentioned so far will do what you want. The sound issue or rather the resonance issue (sound in the cabin while you are driving) is the one that many people are concerned with so I guess that you need to tell us a little bit more about what you are going to use the car for.
When driving at "normal" crusing speeds many of these systems will give you a bit of a headache after 30 or 45 min of driving. The exception to this seems to be the Corsa system. The corsa however has a slightly different sound than flowmaster and magnaflow and thus it may also be a matter of personal taste.
Do you drive your vette every day? How often do you go on long drives? Or are ya just going to use the car for profiling

The resonance for systems other than Corsa are said to give people headaches. This is not acceptable in my car. Others may tell you it's not so bad. I love my Corsa system. It looks great and is loud only when I want loud - when I step down!

Ok, I want loud.. I want you to hear me coming. Some other factors
1. Its a convertible
2. It is not a Daily Driver
3. I basically run it at the track and take it on longer drives
Im not worried about resonence, if you want a quiet ride Ill ride in my Turbo saab.. I want it to sound slightly mean at idle and wicked WOT. And while corsa may have its followers.. Im not a fan of the different pitch that they omit.
Right now its between B&B, Flowmaster Force II full kit, Magnaflow mufflers only...
any tips now with the extra info?

Have you considered the Delta Flo 50 muff's? www.performancepeddler.com They make some specifically for the vette with the proper mounting bracket, have a mellower tone than the Force II, but still wail when you hammer it. Have them on my 89 and love them. Look sweet, too. Nice exhaust note!

BTW, feel the same as you on all 4 points! Therefore, let me say right now the B&B's are what you want!
