My exhausts are stock...I think, but are very quiet for a fact. I want some...noise, but not too aggressive...at least at cruising speeds. What do you all recommend?

i'd do a search on here and also go to sites with videos like you tube, streetfire.net and ls1tech.com. that will give you a good idea of what to expect from different systems. when it really comes down to it, only YOU know what you want your car to really sound like. have fun!

I noticed your Vette is wearing the same exhaust that's sitting in my living room waiting to be installed on my 98 Pace Car...how do you like it (the Corsa Pace Car cat-back with Pro tips)?

A&A Exhaust Mod for $35. You don't like it, thats ok, if you were going to change out the stock system anyway.

Listening to sound clips online is a good start, but they always sound different in person. I'd recommend looking for a get-together in the regional section. With a larger group, you'd probably be able to listen to several systems at a time. Good luck!

If I were you I'd look up a local Corvette club and go the next event.....they'll be more than glad to 'sound off' for ya and I'm sure
there will be a lot of different brands to listen to.
