Default KBD Exhaust system?

Anyone running one? Anyone heard one? Resonance issues? I found it on Corvette America, 3 in after the cats, Nice price too. I'm worried it may be too loud or have resonance issues. Any opinions are appreciatted. Thanks

those where my first exhaust upgrade. I had the 3" version. Pretty deep, not TOO loud, with the rest of the exhuast stock, and only slightly more resonance than stock.

I have since moved on to Borla, and now magnaflow

Thanks for the reply Bro! The stock exhaust on my 95 is sooo quiet it's hard to tell if it's even running! I was looking at the Corsa first but I saw this and woww 3" pipes nice price, you know. Why did you get rid of yours? Thanks again.

wanted a Stainless exhaust, with a tad more noise going on.

The KDB is great with price considered

I also considered that exact same system for my '94. A senior member warned me about a "drumming" effect with the resonator, since it has 4 flat surfaces. That same member said that it had a bit of a European tone, which scared me away. Lot's of members also claim that the system rusts easily.

Eventually i went with the catback chambered exhaust system with SS tips from Corvette Central for the same price. I just got the system and i love it. Not sure what the hp gains are, but i definately feel a difference. I'll admit there is some resonance (probably worse bc i have an automatic), but i can sacrifice a little drone for awesome sound.
