I have the Z06 exhaust w/ Vararam Intake & the exhaust is only slightly louder & deeper than stock! Never heard a RT. 66 in person...

I have the Z06 exhaust w/ Blackwing and Icebox and the exhaust is only slightly louder & deeper than stock as well! Never heard a RT. 66 in person either...

Your in luck, I've owned them all and just did this swap. My car is mod'ed see sig. I had B&B bullets awesome sound but too much all the time. Tried Z06 too quite, pretty nice idle but just not enough. So now I have the B&B Rt66, it's is a deeper sound and louder at WOT than the Z06. No drone but you can hear them at cruise whereas the Z06 was dead silent at cruise. On a stock car like yours the Rt66's will be a little louder the than Z06, you might want to try the next step up the B&B PRT's. They work nice with stock manifolds, etc.

I have the Route 66 on my car. Based on the sound it puts out and Z06s I have heard, the Route 66 is deeper and a bit louder. I love mine.
