This thread has way too many people talking. I just wanted to hear OP's opinion and review on the exhaust he bought.
I'm not interested in everyone's opinion of American vs Chinese products. I want to know how OP feels about his exhaust, not how everyone else feels about where it was made. Why is it that every new thread on here eventually becomes a patriotic debate?

I went with used Z06 Ti's that were less expensive and made by GM. Though they aren't the prettiest things you'll ever see, they're the biggest exhaust bargain out there.
LOL
hopefully they meet the OP's expectations! If they do he may have found a new option for folks looking for exhausts...

Finally was able to secure the lift today. I seriously don't know how you guys do exhaust work in your garage. Install was straightfoward and a breeze. Exhaust sounds just like Borla in person. Overall for $380 it has met my expectations. 
I know a bunch of guys on here don't like chinese knockoff parts and/or refuse to put them on your Vette. I on the other hand have no issues if the sound is there and does what it's supposed to.
IMO drone is a minimal and I'm able to carry on a conversation. Then again I haven't ridden in another Vette with exhaust so I can't compare apples to apples. The only issue that I have is the tips are a bit more crooked than my liking. It also appears that the driver side is a bit higher, has a bit more angle, and is tucked a little more than the passenger side. This may requring a bit more finesse and I will continue to play around with it. With that being said the extra money saved will go towards nitrous, blower, or turbo.
Just need to do more research and figure out which route I want to take.
It's only been a few months, but the Z06 has been worlds better than the 2005 GTO I came from. Always a blast to drive and looking forward to giving it a pair of *****.
Excuse the crappy cell video:

Wait a minute! Did you just switch out GM Titanium exhaust for a cheap Chinese knockoff? Originally I thought it was a base exhaust you were switching out. Replacing a TI exhaust for that does not make sense to me! Sorry but, I think you made a mistake.

Sounds good! and looks nice!
Best way to really know if you enjoy the new sound is a nice round trip somewhere with some distance and a little stop and go traffic.
That is how I found out I hated my LG Big 3 mufflers!
Thanks,Matt
