Default West Texas Vettes

Does anyone here live in west Texas? I'm wanting to buy some exhaust for my vette, but can't decide which to choose. I've already heard every sound clip on the internet and I'd like to hear the exhaust live before I make a purchase. I'm thinking either B&B Bullets, B&B PRT, Borla Stingers. My neighbor has SLP Loudmouths, and I think those are a little too loud for me. Can anyone help me out?


Thanks,
D_BlueVette

I live in Hobbs, NM which in all practical purposes is West Texas. I have GHL Bullets on my 01 Coupe. I like them as they have a deeper tone. With GHL, the Bullets are their quieter version. You are welcome to listen to them.

Try the Concho Valley Corvette Club in San Angelo. Lots of members have C5 vettes and some are modified. Too bad you missed me by a year, you would have been able to hear my Borla Stingers.
