Looks good! :cheers:

The first and last photo's look the same. Do you have a shot of the whole rear end?

I will try and get a shot of the whole rear end.I am at work and it
looks sort of funny seeing someone in the parking lot crawling under
a car!

How will this sound on an LT-1? The drone from my Flowmasters is killing me. Thanks.

Personally I like it.Not too soft and not too loud.I have never heard
flowmasters on an LT1,so I can't compare the two.But I believe
you will like them.

Those are the same one's that I put on my '89 a few weeks ago. I also installed a rear crossover. The resonance is only bad at about 25 mph under load. :cool:

Why do people get a kit? Seems to me that you can just weld in some pipe :confused:

I am an ex-eliminator user... and they are loud for my liking.

now, my hearing is very sensitive. Always has been, but these things gave me a headache!!!

The resonance was killer...

if you are out to remove the resonance, get Corsa's.... they are the best I have experienced so far. I had stock, elims and now Corsa's.

Looks great and I must say you've chosen an awesome color vette! I might be partial though. I have had eliminators on mine for about a year now and they freakin ROCK. I have very little resonance and the sound is great. A nice rumble at idle and a very healthy growl on acceleration. Sometimes when I am cruising, I'll ease her into neutral and rev her a couple of times just to hear it. I would attribute my low level of resonance partially to the fact that I made sure that the new tips extended about 3/4 inch beyond the rear valence to help get the sound out from under me and behind me instead. I hope you enjoy your new sound. Don't rev too hard near parked cars though, you might set off sensitive car alarms. :reddevil

yellavette94,
Thank's for the comments.I too love your choose of colors.I got my
elims done at a local muffler shop.Cost me 80 bucks.No need to order
them.I too love the sound.Very quiet on the freeway.The only time they
are loud is around 20-25 under load.I highly recommend the eliminators.
Thank's for the replies,
bhamvett

They look way cool, I've been thinking about this myself. You wouldn't happen to have or know where I could find a sound clip of these on an LT1 with an otherwise unaltered factory exhaust system? Happy New Year!

Thanks, I found one, should have searched before asking. One question do you have your cats and resonator still installed? Below is the clip I found, does yours sound like Blue 92's? Sorry for all the ???, just trying to get accurate picture (or rather sound) here.

Take care,

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,

Thanks for answering the questions, I WISH I could drive mine more. My commute is about 35 miles one-way, my vette has around 40k on the clock right now and just can't bear to put into rush hour traffic here. Take care, thanks again.
