Stock Ti and I think it's awesome. Much better than I thought it would be after the coupe, which definitely needs the XR1. :seeya

Re: Exhaust poll (DsC5)
What little bit of resonance I have, can be controlled with the accelerator, shifter and most of all by my partitian.
My friend with an '02 coupe with PRT's says my Z06 with Stingers sounds so freakin awsome compared to his. A non Corvette buddy that is more of a British / European car aficionado listend to me go by his place of business while he was outside (I was WOT rowing the gears) and he said it was the sweetest music he has heard in a long while, all he could say when I came back to his work was Holy sh&%!!!!! You should hear that thing!
I have been unable to hear it from the outside myself yet, guess I will have to let my best bud with the coupe drive it so I can hear it from the outside. :D Anyway Stingers ROCK!!!!
:cheers:

Re: Exhaust poll (Bertrand)
Anyone have before and after dyno runs on the stingers? What kind of documented rwhp gain can I expect from this mod?

Re: Exhaust poll (RPO_Z06)
:rolleyes: Took my Borla 1400017's off my coupe and put them on the Z 06. There definately is more sound with the Z 06. Doesn't bother me at crusing speeds though and I love rowing the gears. Someone told me it sounds sporty. :lol: Lots of people at the F1 race asked me to rev it up for them. Not as loud as the F1 cars but almost. :cool:

Re: Exhaust poll (RPO_Z06)
Had PRT's from my coupe, taken off, ready to install on the Z06. After driving 8 miles from the dealer to COH, I decided to keep the stock Ti system. I love PRT's, but was really impressed with the stock exhaust. :cheers:

Re: Exhaust poll (Bertrand)
Thanks to everyone for the good data. So basically around 10-12 rwhp reliably...Going to think about this one. :yesnod:
I heard a set on a coupe at the Funfest - it was really mellow at idle, and surprisingly quiet. I want to try a set - they looked easy to install as well - it looked like the hardest part was removing the stock passenger side pipe.
best regards
