So, I have a C5 and I'm kind of new to Corvette's.
I really just wanted to know your guys suggestions would be as to what exhaust is the best to go with.
Any suggestion would help a lot.

I have B&B PRT's with Oval Tips. Luv it! Got mine at the NCM Museum during the 5oth Caravan. No drone which was very important to me. I listened to just about everyting for two years. I thought the B&B was the best. Everyone will have there own opinion and you can be sure everyone will be different! Good Luck!

Lots of good options. Most do cost alot. But if you find what you like, it's worth it. Listen to others and try to drive in some before deciding. Sound is critical, so is drone. Hit it WOT to hear the sound, take it up to 75 MPH (1800 RPM's) to listen to drone. You may need to sit in it for a while to hear the drone.
I love the look of many, to include the Z06 Ti's. I also love the sound of the Z06 Ti's - though it is mild for many. At WOT it's nice and simply no drone. Cost is low as well.
1 - How do you drive? If you cruise on the highway, drone is an issue. Listen before you buy.

I don't drive like a crazy person or anything but I'll get on it now and then.
I've only taken it up to 130 so far, because I've only been able to drive it for 2 months. Before I had to garage it. Damn Buffalo Winter.

Its all personals preference. Best thing to do is listen to them and see what you like the best. I have Corsa Pace Car. Here is a website with all different kinds of exhaust sounds on a LS1.

Most of the larger exhaust manufacturers will have a sound clip. Try that first. Second look into catalogs like Mid America that gives an IAC rating and also has sound bites if you go on their web (www.mamotorworks.com/corvette) Last hit some corvette car shows and listen for yourself before you buy. Mine's B&B Bullets with LG Motorsports Longtube headers. That would be on the loud side. Some people also like to listen to the radio-go figure.

I'm new too and just had B&B prt round tips installed with a Bassani X pipe. Haven't been able to expierience the power yet but I love the sound when it idles. So much better sound and look then the stock. Check out the B&B site for sound. I steered away from the loud ones. I bought mine from East Coast Corvettes 799.00 shipped. The X pipe was 278 shipped from Corvettegarage.com

Picking your exhaust would sort of be like picking your wife/girlfriend

Having said that... I'm partial to B&B PRT's

If I had to choose, I choose both.
"cut outs"
Have the best of both worlds. Where I live, they have a "loud exhaust" law. So I need to be quiet, but at the tracks, I like to be loud.
