Default c6 style catback installed

after installing the stroker motor the exhaust noise was a problem I had
the slp loudmouth, magnaflow, corsa extreme and last was the borla touring. I was surprised how quiet the borla touring system was with longtubes and no cats it was like stock but was too quiet, heavy and the tips did not line up so I made up my own exhaust using c6 over axle pipes, borla pro xs mufflers and 4" flowmaster tips. The plan was to position the mufflers like the C6 however I have a 98 and the abs block was in the way. Overall I am happy with the sound and look. Next I need to seal up the trunk and weld the tips

interested in how bad you have to hack up the floor

I have a Z06 and the battery is moved to the back so that would have to raise up too on the new floor

do you have any pics before the exh was installed of the floor cut out?

You guys are killing me here. I wish I would have just bought a stock C6 Z06/Zr1 exhaust and sold my LG big 3. If I was going to have to make it work anyway I should have done it with a straight shot out the back. I guess there is always next year.
