C5 Exhaust Choices
Hey Guys!
I just purchased a 2001 z06 in February, and am looking at doing an axle back. I have already done LG Street Headers with an O/R X, Cam, and Intake. I would like to get some more sound out of it without the exhaust being too raspy. I would prefer to have the car as loud as possible, and I really like the drone inside the cabin. Any thoughts on what exhaust would be loud, but not real raspy? I've been looking into a few different options. The B&B Bullets, Borla Stingers, or the Magnaflow Xl (Haven't heard many videos of these, so not real sure on these yet.) Any thoughts/Suggestions?
Thanks guys!

If you like drone, go with the Bullets or Stingers. As far as I know, the Corsa's do not really have drone - at least mine does not.

I have stingers and they sound amazing. That being said, there is a lot of drone with this system,which makes long road trips tough to handle. I may replace the system someday for something else, but for now, the stingers are staying put.

Me? Not at this time. I am still enjoy the sound too much to part with the system. I am going to be making the car more track oriented anyway, so long road trips aren't really in the near future with this car anyway.

We are running a big sale on Magnaflow right now (must call for the coupon code). While Magnaflow is not 304 Stainless like Corsa and Borla, all three are nice setups! Feel free to call us if you have any questions! 443-730-9428
