Exhaust set-up!
Wanted to know the best exhaust set-up for an 88 Vette. I want that deep rumbling sound. A buddy told me I needed the Flowmaster 44 mufflers with an x-pipe. What do you guys think? This is my first Vette and I love this forum!!!

I was looking at 1984-1991 Corvette Stainless Steel Quad Power Mufflers part #627-459 $299.99 out of the Mid America Motorworks Catalog. Wanted to have those at the end of a custom, true dual exhaust/headers setup with maybe a X-pipe.

Corsa's! everytime..used to have eliminators but they were just NOISE! Corsa's will give you a nice powerful "in control" sound, is it stick or auto ?, mine is six speed and I just work her up through the gears, drop into 5th, and cruising around 40/45 through town will give a rumble that I can gaurentee will turn heads! get on the gas and you could be on the race track! 
And they look seriously trick at the back !!!

doesn't matter, the engines are what counts! all I meant was it sounds nice when you can control what gear you want to be in, makes a lot of difference to the "soundtrack"! 
, bear in mind though, Corsa's aint cheap! but worth every penny... there are cheaper alternatives but if you want all the best sounds (and looks) and still hold a conversation its the only way to go!
