Dont waste your money and time on an expensive cat back system. Buy a Z06 titanium set up and add an X pipe and headers to get a great sounding exhaust thats light weight and cost effective while actually gaining horsepower.

Just put Borla Stingers and I am extremely happy with them. No drone when on the highway or low rpm and sound great at WOT.

I installed B & B PRT . I love the sound and the wife can live with it. Just drove from Hershey Pa to Key West Fl. and Back. The roads were louder than to exhaust at cruse but only at cruse. And only on the fl. roads.

Just installed my SLP Powerflo Exhaust yesterday morning and drove it around town mashing it then cruising around at different speeds...I love this exhaust. No drone what so ever. I think the contributing factor is that I have a vert. When I mash on the throttle it comes alive. The look is great. The only thing is that the tip is cast aluminum so you have to keep it polished. I am going to Zoop seal it and see if that helps.

Borla just released three brand new exhaust systems that have absolutely no drone at any RPM. Please see this link if you're interested. Though the video is for C6 we have the same systems available for C5.

http://www.youtube.com/borla#p/u/0/oz0e4FT-xZU

Three different sound levels, three different exhaust notes. ZERO drone with any and all of them. Manual, automatic, in any gear, at any RPM, up hills etc. have absolutely no drone.

Though the video is for C6 we have the same systems available for C5.


Cheers!

Great video, David! A question. The video is for C6 but do you have the same systems available for C5?

Ha ha! Just kidding. You should now put together a video with side-by-side comparisons with the three Corsa types.
