Hi, just chiming in. You're correct! The original exhaust system we offered for the C5 did drone. They are still sold as the S-Type Classic sound level. We've gone back and redesigned new systems and sound levels. Our Touring, S-Type II, and ATAK systems for the C5 do not drone!

I had a classic Borla S-type on my car. It droned like mad. It was like talking into an oscillating fan between 1500-1800RPM. It was loud, I loved the sound, but couldn't stand the drone at cruising speeds.

Florida had them previously under a governor from one major political party in the 1990s. However, they were eliminated by the governor of the other major political party, and that political party has won even gubernatorial election since 2000, thus preventing any reinstatement of any inspections, at least for now.

In Pa. We have emissions and inspections. The emissions is a waste of time. They’re doing millions of cars for 1% that fail. And not all the counties are included in emissions. When it comes to inspections, I don’t mind because for the most part cars are road worthy. Not a lot of junk on the road.

I have a 99 FRC too. I still have stock manifolds and cats. But I do have a Corsa x pipe and Corsa axle back. I’ve always wondered which sub-system I have but the exhaust was on the car when I bought it in 2010
. I think it’s great but loud and loud enough are subjective terms. I love the sound on acceleration and deceleration but at cruising speeds you might not find it loud enough?? Corsa’s are an excellent exhaust choice but as with most things may not be your cup of tea.
