Default C5 corvette muffler replacement

Hi I'm new and I would like to know corvette enthusiast if it would be a good idea to put a cherry bomb muffler on my c5. I'm looking for a new louder sound to my car. Any suggestions?

There are numerous exhaust options available for the C5. I've used Magnaflow, OBX, Borla, and GHLs. Do your research on the forum and see what is out there.

I personally would not put a set of cherry bomb mufflers on a C5 - those are more for the muscle car types. If you want a really good sounding and looking system for your car, check out the Corsa lineup.

Cherry Bombs would be a bit low end on a Corvette.
