I went with Callaway DD exhaust and Honker air box AKA: POWER GROUP 1. Has a great low sound at idle without it sounding like a Motor Boat. Normal acceleration is noticable without it being too loud and full throttle is like a V8 singing to the angels!!!!
The Honker air box really opens up the breathing and you WILL feel a difference.

What type of sound are you looking for? Low rumble, high-pitched howl, something exotic or mostly stock? Every system is tuned for something slightly different. This will help us point you in the right direction.

Personally, I was looking for a classic muscle car growl.

I have the Magnaflow exhaust with the Quad Round Tips. IMO this is the best sounding exhaust if you do not want your Vette to be too loud but have a deep muscular sound. I have had several of the aftermarket systems and I feel that these are the best compromise and produce little drone. They are louder and deeper than the Borla Performance Series, Corsa Touring and the B&B Route 66. They really sound great inside and out. And nothing compares to the quality and looks of the 4" Quad Round Tips or the overall quality of construction of the Magnaflow exhaust system.

The Magnaflow system sounds very good. Not too loud, its deep and gives an old muscle sound when you get on it.
