Default Exhaust Question

Does anyone have experience or opinion on the Pypes exhaust syatem for a C5? How does it compare against the other major brands in sound, resonance, quality etc? I'm looking at either the Race Car or Violater systems. Their price seems to be much better than the others so I'm wondering if it is a comparable syatem to the others.

I have had the system for about one year. It replaced the Titanium system on my Z06. I could not be happier with the increase in performance and the sound of the system.

If there is a down side, it is that I can actually carry on a conversation with my wife in the car. This is up to you on whether this is a plus or minus.

The system has no resonance or drone that I have experience in other vettes I have driven with other systems.

I believe the system is better than ones costing twice as much.
