Put eliminators on today!
I decided to go with the eliminators and had a local shop do the job. They only charged me $65! Sounds really good to me. Just a little louder than the stock set up on my 02' Z06. I'll be using my 96' for track days so the sound is what I was looking for. I'm either going to put the Flowmasters on my wife's 91' coupe or just hold on to them just in case I want to try them on mine.
I appreciate everyones input, makes for an interesting post. Keep chiming in

Sounds like a good plan to me. Eliminators obviously are not for everyone and sound different on the different year model C4s, but I like mine. Around town or on the road trips they sound good to me.
What track to you run at? Looks like you are sorta SW GA, I am sorta NE GA. Shame we aren't closer.

I did my first track day at Roebling Road last week. I'm hooked! I had been autocrossing but I like the seat time you get with a track event. I can't wait until the next one.
Yes I'm in SW GA, about 3 hours from Atlanta and 3 1/2 to Savannah.
I'm looking forward to running my car at Road Atlanta next year. Are you doing any track days?

The sound of the muffs is really determined by the motor. How much compression you have and valve timing of the cam makes all the difference in the world. On a real cold morning my flows rattle my kitchen windows
and my motor is pretty mild, for now.

I am looking forward to the new tarmac at Roebling. Guys that have ridden it say it's super nice.

Here is mine with a Flowmaster system and Hot Cam and a few extra cubes. http://media.putfile.com/11-second-Vette
Its all about how much air you pass through the mufflers which determines the sound. Stock engines wont sound much different till you hit it to WOT, IMHO
