Default Help with Exhaust

Any help would be appreciated. I have a chance to get the 2003 Z-06 exhaust for my c-5 and I was also thinking about the borla 4 tip stinger. Does anybody know where I can listen to sounds of different exhausts before I purchase. The only thing that worries me about the borla is not so much the loudness but the popping on deceleration :U Again thanks in advance, Warren :flag

You will get everyones opinion on aftermarket exhausts. :crazy: What sounds better/louder/shinier/throatier blah blah blah... If you are just looking for a nicer sound & a beefier look at the butt-end than a reg C5 then maybe try picking up someones removed ZO6 Ti exhaust. I put on a SLP H-pipe with the Ti and had no burbble. :cheers:

For the sound, check out THX2.

I have the Stingers with 2 tips (I preffer 2 bigger ends than 4 smaller ones) and like the popping sound myself, would not want to get rid of it.

For interior noise level, I bought a partition from WCC a week ago, and it reduced interior resonance by at least 50%. It was bearable before, but it is an excellent compromise of interior sound level and superb sound on the outside.
