Default PRTs on Z06---WOW!

For anyone in doubt as to how this sounds, let me tell you...AWESOME.
The factory sounded much better than previous C5 and I was content for a while but this combo is vicious. It will scare small children on accel while ltting you converse at cruise . No resonance period. I am basing this eval on my '99 FRC exhaust experience...factory, borla 4-tip with mufflers, Borla XR-1, B&B Sport, and Corsa Indies.
It is like a new car again and it has 37k.
Very Satisfied. Needless to say no affiliation with B&B.

Awesome... I'm going to to a cat-back system soon. I want loud; like the flowmasters on my cobra. Are the PRTs louder than the stingers? I know teh LMs are the loudest, but straight pipes may be a bit much

:iagree: I drove mine a total of 5 miles with the stock exhaust......straight from the dealer to COH to have my PRT's off my coupe installed on the Z....and since the install of the FLP's it's even better sounding!

Cobra4B---I've never heard the Stingers live (just audio files). I hear they are similar. No slam to Borla, but I've been down that road and I'm not going back. The "no resonance" requirement was just too important to me. Once you've had a resonance experience (read--XR-1), there IS NO WAY you will chance it again, especially with $550 - 850 out of pocket :mad . The PRTs just sound BAD butt :cool: and are nice at cruise RPM.

You won't regret these and with a 6 speed will not have resonance. The auto guys occasionally do though.
