I have a 94 coupe and have the stock resonator and cats and it is quite a bit louder with elims, but it sounds awesome not too loud, not too quiet. It is pretty loud at wide open throttle but sounds mean and good at cruise. If you are looking for your car to actually sound like a V8 then this is the cheapest way to do it for sure.

I don't have a Vert either, but I know I get absolutely no drone whatsoever with my muffler eliminators...quiet at cruise rpm, loud when I want it to be...(L98 powered car FWIW)

Hey neighbor, I just had Performance Engineering in Middleburg install Flowmaster 40's on my 95 coupe and it sounds beautiful. If it was used as a daily driver, it would be a bit to much to put up with, so I just installed some sound insulation from Exotic Vettes and it helps.

Hey I am right up the road from you.I drive mine quite a bit and have had flowmasters on other cars I think they might be a little loud for me.Do you have any connections for a gear swap?I hate these 259's ?I think I will go without mufflers
