Default Exhaust Poll

Hey everybody, this is my first post. Just ordered my 03 Z. Should come in 5 weeks or so and was wondering which exhaust I should go with. Thanks for all your opinions and if you have other please explain. :flag

I like my stock system. It sounds great, its light weight, and best of all it is all ready there. Good luck with your beast :D

It will be interesting to see if any changes are made to the H pipe on the 03. My vote is for the stock exhaust system.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies, the reason I was asking was because I haven't heard the 03 factory exhaust and was wondering if anybody liked something else. Thanks again. :cheers: :chevy :seeya

The stock exhaust sounds sweet, but I was looking for something more aggressive, which is why I went with the B&B PRT with Speedway tips.

The stinger seem to be the popular item at this point in time, but I can't comment on them.

Any how you have to do what you feel is best. If you want louder, change your exhaust system. If you like it the way it is, then leave it alone.

I'm happy with the sound of my stock '02. I don't think they changed anything in the exhaust for '03.

I think the 03 exhaust is a little more aggresive then the 02. I have the 03 and it sounds great! Anything louder IMO would be crazy loud. Again the stock system is great. :cheers:

DITTO. See how it sounds to you, think you will be surprised:) You can always put something else on if you want MORE. I had Corsa tourings on my '00 coupe-the Z06 stock is louder.

The '03 stock exhaust looks like the '02, but I think mine is deeper sounding than the '02's. Maybe its just my imagination, or maybe it will change with more miles. I'm at 1500 miles and smilin!

I have one of the old '01's and I also love the stock exhaust. I am one of those guys that would rather be seen, than heard. :cheers:

I liked the stock exhaust, however I wanted her just a little louder so I went with B&B PRT ellipticals. Four big freakin' cannons sticking out back :D :D Look like stock, sound like a C5R when you want it to! :yesnod:
