Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Rookieracer and his father who owns a C5 Vert. Both he and his father are running Borla Stingers. His father gave me a ride in the Vert to see if I liked the sound of the exhaust. I still haven't heard the Ti's on a car, but I can tell you the Borla Stingers were very nice. It was basically quiet and with a slight bass rumble at idle. Even at crusing speeds it wasn't annoying. When you stomped on the pedal, you knew it had an exhaust system. No drone, but loud enough to get someones attention. The Vert was also stock, just the exhaust only. The tips looked great as well. They are large 4" round and really make the rearend of the car look aggressive. I'm considering getting the Borla system for my Vette. BTW- Both Rookieracer and his father were very informative and true gentlemen! Thank you!

i ran headers, orx and stock Ti for a while.. sounds good but always craving a lil more. had my buddy do the Ti bypass mod and I love it. lil louder at idle/part throttle, a good bit louder at wot. still ZERO drone. I prefer the look of the oem Ti over all others as well. only exhaust I would consider changing to is the corsa pace (now called the sport).

Z06 Titanium exhaust
I'm H/C/I, longtubes, high-flow cats, and factory Ti muffs, and I think it sounds perfect, as do many of the guys around here

It's my understanding that with a cam, headers, cats, the factory Ti's sound OK. Even the Z06 has a little more modifications than a stock base C5. With stock exhaust manifolds and stock engine, the Ti's are a little too quiet and not much different than the stock exhaust. That's why guys like me (who are basically all stock but want some exhaust sound) need to go with an aftermarket system. I really don't want to put a cam, headers and all that on. I'd love to save money and just get a set of Ti's and be done. I think they really look good as well and are lighter in weight. Just not enough difference in sound from my stock system.

send me a PM and if I decide to change things out, I'll reply.
I might end up driving over to Borla and get their X-pipe style resonator and add that.
Basically the muffler part of the Xr1 system.
Or just go like I said with the Touring system.

I sold my C5 Vert, so I have my set of stored, great condition, uncut Titanium Z06 Axle back OEM's for sale in the C5 parts section!

Another benefit to mention for Ti's is related to COPs & annual Inspections ! The's Ti's are a Factory OEM system, so that should keep you out of trouble with the authorities!!!
Plus most 3rd party aftermarket systems cost more, weigh more, etc...!
Due to uncut size, I prefer local ~Raleigh/RDU pickup, otherwise they'd be SOLD by now!

I also thought the stock Ti's too quiet. So they got replaced by Borla Stingers, Xpipe, Random Tech Cats, and Ceramic coated LG Pro's... all in one shot. Can you hear me NOW? 
I sold the Ti system to a Vert owner.
