How sweet the sound
I know it's been answered a hundred times but I am looking for a sweet sounding exhaust when I punch the go pedal but also one that keeps the Vette quiet when I don't, or when I am cruising, or when Mr Officer is behind me! Oh Yeah - I don't have a huge budget

Magnaflow Performance Exhaust, Borla Performance Series, B&B Route 66 or Corsa Touring. Find a good used set and save hundreds.
I have a nice used Borla Performance Series system if you are interested. I currently have the Magnaflow Performance Exhaust on my '99. Both sound similar.

I went with the Grannatelli's. Cost me $500 and I got quad stainless 4 inch tips. The sound is as deep if not deeper than the Borla's at idle and almost as loud as the B&B Bullets at WOT but the best part is I have no...repeat...no drone at cruise. You can buy into that $900 or so crap/corvette tax if you want to. But I wouldn't have any other exhaust out there for the money. I originally ordered the Borla quad stingers but after hearing a forum members B&B Bullets I thought I wanted those and when I went to change the order there were a few guys there that had a lot of different systems and that's how I learned about these...and yes they are T-304 stainless steel with a lifetime guarantee just like the others. The only difference is that the pipes and mufflers aren't mirror polished from the factory but you can't see those parts anyway just those big shiny tips. Oh yeah...flamesuit on.

The best way to find the exhaust that is right for you is to listen to some vettes with different exhausts.
