If I`m not mistaken, I first read about the 3in. Random Technology cat-back system in an article in one of the Corvette magazines! I think the tuner who did the install and dyno was Speed Hound, but I`m not positive. If so they should be able to give you the feedback you require.
I`ll try and find the article to be certain, in the meantime, I think Speed Hound may be a CF vendor and listed on this site, otherwise you can probably find them through Google.

Good luck, Rick

I suspect Speed Hound may have gone out of business. A buddy and I went by Jody's shop a couple of weeks ago to see him and Speed Hound had vanished from the premises. Too bad - we have so few tuners in this entire state that the loss of one is a major setback. You listening Mike Norris?

I got my custom 3" exhaust system put on last week. No track #s, dyno #s, or anything... yet...

I have mandrel bent 3" pipes, 3" xpipe, snaked the exhaust like the borla stinger, and used borlas XR1 12" oval race mufflers.

It sounds DEEP at idle and will vibrate you a little bit, kind of like thunder rolling. But there's a considerable amount of resonance and it is LOUD overall. Going under an overpass revving sounds incredible, though!

I will have some track numbers hopefully tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Multimedia will follow that if my buddy with the camera comes along...

PM me if you have questions!

Have heard the setup at 21st Cent MC, think it may have been John Page's Z06. Sounds great, deep but was not loud at idle.
