96 Mufflers
I want to replace my stock mufflers with ones that have more sound. I looked into the eliminators but would rather go with a differnt sound. Does anyone know of any out there? I have heard of Texas Exhuast mufflers but I can't find any info on them. if anyone has a link that would be great.
One more thing, I want to keep the stock exhaust tips if possible.
Thanks

Just curious, but why do you want to keep the factory tips? Is it for "factory look" on a show car? If so, a judge will still notice. Is it to make your car a "sleeper"? If so, your opponent isn't going to know enough about vettes to think to himself, "Hmmm....well he's got factory tips - I can take 'im!" See where I'm going with this? Save yourself the trouble and $$$ and go with something that's more readily available.

I have a 96 I tried muffler eliminators & love em... I dont know if I got more power but I race every week, & I am sure I saved 50 lb.. the eliminators came with STOCK tips already on them..
My car looks stock from the rear, but it doesn't have the big ugly mufflers hanging out back..
Everyone that has heard my car loves the sound.. I like it also except in long trips (over 50 miles) then its kinda loud..

If it were me (and this is just one man's opinion), I would search on eBay for a while and try to score some Corsa, Borla, etc. mufflers *only* for a decent price. Not the whole catback - just the mufflers. Then get 'em installed and deal with the tips.

I also di dthe elims(but you saw those) If you want mufflers, go with Magnaflow, they sound great. If you want to spend some money, get a Corsa cat back.

I love my Flowmaster Force II system... No resonance issues and a great sound...
The tips aren't the prettiest or most aggressive looking, but I can live with them for the sound...
