muffler options?
From reading the C6 forums, I gather that several C6 owners are very happy after replacing just their mufflers with Flowmaster 14335/6 mufflers for a total cost of $300 or less. Do C5 owners have similar options?
Also, it seems that on C6s (or C6 Z06s) the exhaust tone can be made deeper by pulling out a fuse. How about C5s?

Replacing just the mufflers on a C5 won't be easy. The C6 exhaust is straight back, but the C5 doubles back on itself and then makes a 90º turn on the exit. On top of all that, the rear hanger (which largly determines the alignment angle of the tips) is welded or brazed onto the muffler itself.
As for the fuse, that's a no-can-do as well, as explained by BudgetPlan1.
