A Corsa Pace car system is a good choice!

I went with the Magnaflow exhaust and X-pipe. I am very happy with the low rumble sound with little resonance. Plus it looks great. It is kind of a sleeper until you go WOT and then it roars.

Default Narrowed down to two exhaust systems

Hey thanks for the help, vetters,

Just from the sounds you supplied me with, I have narrowed it down to two, possibly three systems. Number one is magnaflow 15713, number two is flowmaster, and I am not sure but the sound was what I like in the borla, stinger 4 tip.
My next question is, is there a place where I can get them for less than a grand? And what exactly does the x-pipe do sound-wise? And is it worth the extra expense?
I am getting some neat chrome wheels for my girl. Will submit pix when they are on.

I picked up my Magnaflow 15713 system last summer for $875 shipped from performancepeddler.com.

Default Z06 ti sound bits?

Hi,
Its me again. I am very close to going with the Magneflow, but I would really like to hear what the Z06 Stock titaniums sound like.
Anybody got one for me, or know where to look?

I installed the Z06 Ti's which I love for many of the same reason as some of the other folks above mentioned. They are a little deeper at idle and sound much much better at WOT. Too, at cruise speeds, they have no more resonance/drone than the stock coupe/vert exhaust which is exactly for what I was looking.

However, it would be best if you could find a meet or somewhere locally to hear as many of the systems first hand as possible. You'll find the sound of many will differ some from the recordings.

Good luck finding the exhaust that is right for you.

Borla Stingers 2 tip. They are not specific to a Z06 (as stated) - they fit any C5.

I have the Borla Stinger 4-tip: Incredible rumble at idle and semi-exotic roar at WOT. They are priced well below $1000.

That's the best advice.

You mentioned GHLs being too loud... was that the Magnum or Bullets? The Magnums are louder. Of couse it's a matter of perception, but my Bullets do see too loud compared to some of the other Vettes I hear.

Is there any way I could hear some sounds of maybe B&B Tri-Flo's or something that would be pleasing? I did like the sound of the Stinger Borlas for the Z06 but I don't have a Zo6.
Sure would appreciate some advice if not some way to hear them.
I think the B&B's would suit you if the Stingers and GHL's are too loud. Full length system would probably be right on with RT66's - i'll tell you when i get my headers done.
