Default Stock Exhaust Mod ?

Per RichieRichZ06, I have decided to pull the trigger and do this to me AE






Before I make a mistake, is there any real down-side. I cannot figure that there is the dreaded DRONE and yet should really bark at WOT

Give me some "quick" feedback.

I agree, I have read some people like the sound and some didn't. But I did it to mine and think it sounds great.

I wish I had thought of that! I'll bet it sounds good. Besides, if you hate it, you can just splurge for an aftermarket system like the rest of us spendthrifts. Go for it!

I did it to mine and I love it. No drone, and sounds great at WOT. The only problem, and I'm getting used to it, is the car sounds kinda like a motorboat at idle. Hard to describe. I don't even notice it now.

That's the A&A mod but much closer to the muffler. The A&A mod is further out close to where the pipe curves. I have and like it. A&A is Andy of A&A Corvettes, vendor.
