Default Exhaust Question

I want to put more muscle in the exhaust sound of my '99 C5 Coupe. Borla stingers are too aggressive and stock system is *****. In the range of 1 to 10, 10 being the Stingers, I want a 5 or 6 sound.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

You'll get a lot of responses saying that whichever system they have is the best. I had stock for almost a year and just this Monday I had the Corsa Indy installed. All I can say is that "it's the best out there"

Seriously, it's a good system. It's a little bit louder than stock at idle but sounds awesome at WOT. Cruising is almost like stock too, maybe just a tad louder. I have a MN6 and there is no drone whatsoever.

I never got the chance to preview any other systems (except the little sound clips online) so I just bit the bullet and pulled the trigger. Couldn't be happier.

Good luck

Second vote for the Corsa Indy. I just happen to have a new system available. Will be posting it for sale soon. If you're interested send me a PM.

Maybe its b/c i'm younger, but when i bought my stingers, you guys on CF made me think that the Stingers were un-godly loud, like hear-for-blocks-loud. I was really kinda hoping they were louder.

But hey, as a good friend of mine once said, "If its too loud, you're too old"
