Default Sorry, another exhaust question

My new to me car has an aggressive cam, LT headers, and H pipe- stock exhaust and intake. It obviously needs both- my Vararam arrived today, and im looking to get an exhaust. I was looking to get the Bullet Series with Quad 4" Tips, but someone suggested a Z06 exhaust- is this a good setup? What do you Z06 exhaust owners think? What would you do? I will also be doing better heads at some point too...
Thanks

Randy

I dont want real real loud... this is my daily driver when im not on the bike. I certainly wouldn't mind loudER though, but not obnoxious- are the GHL bullets bad? GHL told me they were the best- with zero resonance...

GHL 4" bullets for about 37K miles and 2 years.......
You'll LOVE them......trust me........I bought mine on the advice of
Yo-El and have NEVER regreted......whether they are the best or not, I can't say. All I can tell you is they are sweet at idle, no resonance on the highway at cruise, and BARK when you get on it And my car is also a DD Lots of people tell me how great the car sounds too.

Well, sounds good enough to me. I'll give GHL a call again- they'd said they'd cut me a deal since I was a repeat customer (had their exhaust on my Porsche)
