95 exhaust questions...
I will officially be the proud owner of a 95 6 speed tomorrow and of course I will be adding a K&N filter and I would like some suggestions as to what I should do to the exhaust. I plan to keep the car mostly stock, I might play with a computer progammer or some other mild bolt on's but nothing crazy. Would I be happy with just adding mufflers or should I do a complete cat-back system?
Thanks for input!!!

You won't get anywhere near the sound you are looking for if you don't get a cat back system. Get a 3" cat back from Borla or Dynomax and VRRROOOOMMMM!!!! Oh yea, it goes faster too :D

I have Corsa on my '95 6 speed, and other than that my car is pretty much stock. I can tell you from experience that the Hypertech Programmer is only good for modifying when the cooling fans turn on. I gained about 17 horse with the Corsa and close to the same in torque. This was measuered at the rear wheels.
If you do not have anything else going on on Wednesday, August 15, Longhorn Corvette Club will be having one of its monthly get togethers at Rudy's Country Store & BBQ, on 183 in North Austin. There is usually a good showing of cars. The social starts at 7:00 to when everyone leaves. Basically there is a lot of talking ( :bs ) going on, and people are eating and drinking.
I will be there from about 6:30 to whenever. I will be easy to spot as I am usually the only Dark Red Metallic (Maroon) C4 there.
Hope to see you there.

I did the muffler eliminator thing, I like it.
For cat back, I would go with Corsa or Power effects.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Duntov, I'll be coming by Rudy's this evening. I'll be looking for you, I'll be in a black 95 (not to rare I'm sure). Can't wait to hear that Corsa system.

Re: 95 exhaust questions... (EricJ)
I got the 3" Tri-Flow on my car. It sounds really good. I haven't seen anyone else with this exhaust(sorta expensive). I can tell you that my friend has a stock 95 and his car sounds lame when I pull next to him. When you slow down the exhaust doesn't pop all the time, but it does now and then, so cool. When I get on it the car makes everyone's head turn to see what is making all the noise. Even when you are idling around it sounds good. Just get ready for the droan at 1500-2000 rpm. I am losing my hearing.....but i'll like it too much to get rid of it. I can't wait for my full length headers...it should get even louder!!!!! Good luck, and make sure you get a cat back system no smaller than 3", and stainless would be best. Get a set of racing cats if you got the cash. See Ya!!!

I did not see you there. Was I just not very observant, which is possible. If you were there; I apologize for not meeting up with you.
Anytime you want to listen to the Corsa's let me know.
