Not bad at all, really. I used to have a y-pipe with crossover tube and the zr1 style tips from Mid America that had a little bit of something inside there, and I think it was a bit more annoying than just striaght pipe.
Check out my pics in my thread here:

Looks good, they're just like mine were. Light84, elims are pretty loud, there's a bunch of resonance. If it wasn't my daily driver I would've kept them, but the gf got sick of them too so I went to Corsa's :chevy

Re: Muffler eliminator photos! (BIG JIM 54)
In one of the other threads a Member said he has elims with Hooker resonator tips. He says the Hookers quiet it down some and he has only minor resonance issues between 1400-1500 rpm.
I think I will go that way too. I did some checking today, I can get the dual chrome tips by Hooker for $84 and the muffler shop said they would remove the stock mufflers, fabricate the pipe to replace them and install the tips for $100. So for less than $200 I'll have poor man's Corsas :jester

Jim,
I never get tired of talking about corvette's! I still have my cats in place.
I was told by the muffler shop that without the cats the car would be
very loud,so I left mine alone.Mine does sound very similar to the sound
clip.You will want to drive your corvette even more with the eliminators-
if that's possible!
Happy New Year,
