Default Exhaust
Is there any exhaust systems that sound similiar to an Indy Car. I like the sound they make and was wondering who might make it?


Thanks

Corsa Indy maybe? Do a YT search for C5 exhaust. Maybe you'll find the exhaust you're looking for.

I will put in a second vote for the Corsa systems. IMHO they have a more exotic sound than some of the other systems out there; a little higher pitch and raspy.

Corsa Indys will be the closest.

You mean like the race car Indy car??? The only thing going to make a Vette sound like that is a new engine. It is many more factors than an exhaust. 10,000+ rpm for example... There are a bunch of awesome sounding exhausts out there but nothing is going to sound like an Indy car.

That's what I was shooting for. More like the car itself.

Thanks

I hate Ricers, but I respect this bad-azz engine:

http://www.indycar.com/tech/engines.php

650hp, 3.5L, 10,300rpm with rev limiter.
Being just yards away from these at Belle Isle last month, I can tell you, ear plugs required. You really don't want your street car sounding like this.
