Which do you think would be better for a 427 C5. The car has straight pipes. Currently it has the B&B with straight pipes and it's shattering loud and I need to change, but I want something that will be loud, but not shattering?

Hmmm... Stingers are sust a smidge quieter than Bullets. I have Kooks w/ cats + stingers... it's quite enough when I want it to be, but rips at WOT.

Here's me racing snowman at the CI this year.

Find some Corsa Ti's -- you'll get the airflow, save even more weight over the Z06 Ti, and you can decide whether or not to run the mufflers (swapping them in/out takes 5 minutes per side).

Another option is to get the Z06 Ti's and do the exhaust bypass mod on them.. Great growl around town, but thunder of God at WOT.

Watch the vids in this link.. Under LETHLZ06's post, he's got 2 vids displaying the exhaust bypass.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...exhaust+bypass

All it is, is a Z06 titanium catback setup with another piece of titanium piping bypassing the muffler. You'll see when you watch the vid. Very cool mod, and inexpensive--especially when discussing Corsa Ti's.
