Catbacks/tips....post up close-up pics please
I think I'm gonna go ahead and pull the plug and get a new catback system. Couldn't find a thread with all the types so I'm starting a new one. I don't want drone especially at highway speeds. I am into car audio so I dont want the drone fooling with my audio. The tips are very important so if you can post close-up pics of your system and describe what you have and your opinion on it....
Are any of the tips machined/beveled????
Want 4 tips.

When I wasa in the market for an exhaust, that was my main concern as well, I didn't want vibration or drone in the cockpit at cruise. I found an exhaust that spent a lot of time in development and that was their selling feature - keep the sound behind you with a nice deep throaty sound. Ark Racing is the brand and I belive they were out of LA - All polished Stainless cat back system - pipes, cans, Tips very pleased with the set up - sounds good and quiet in the car....I will rty and dig some pics up - I know I have photos of it on the ground and during install but not sure if I have them in computer

Not sure what brand/model...
...if anybody recognizes it and can tell me what it is, I would be grateful. It was on the car when I got it last year. It seems to be a very nice system - T304 markings were all I found when I took it off last summer after I bought the car to straighten the alignment of the tips. Looks great and sounds pretty good, but different than most systems I have heard on other Corvettes - I describe it as "exotic/European" sounding. Absolutely no drone whatsoever and very mild when cruising, but fairly aggressive under WOT.
