My personal opinion is that the least expensive way to make a C5 exhaust sound better is to put on a used Z06 exhaust. You could do the exhaust mod to your C5 exhaust, but I would personally just spend a few extra bucks and get a complete Z exhaust. Not sure what the going rate is on used Z exhausts these days but they used to be easily had under $500.

QTP cut outs and someone to weld them in. That way you go from stock to wide open(or anywhere in between) just by hitting the included switch. Should be under $500.00
