Default Quieter than GHL's?

I may have to move the vette to daily driving duties and I think the headers/ghl's might be a bit too much. I was thinking about changing the exhaust to:
1)Bassini
2)Magnaflow
3)Callaway

I have "heard" that the Magnaflows have some drone and that the Callaway Double D is pretty quiet. Any other info would be appreciated. I have had the Corsa Touring (tugboat sound bothered me) and the Borla (drone made me insane).

Many thanks!!

Pete

What GHL's are you running? I went from the ZO6 Ti's to GHL's w/ 6 inch cans and the car sounds great. Not too loud below 3k but starts barking above 3k. I run full H/C with LT's and hi-flow cats. Even my wife likes the sound. It is much louder but deeper than the Ti's.

Also take a look at the Ti's. They sounded good on my car but I wanted my loud pedal back.

I agree, I absolutely love the sound, but during the summer with the top on and running errands in traffic all day it starts to bug me. I would love to have the same "sound" only slightly muted.

I believe I have the bullets.

thanks!

I'm also running the Ghl bullets with headers and love the sound. I'd think the ti's would be your best bet if you wanted to tame it down a little. Other than that, you'd probably have to get rid of the headers.

Kevin - you and I are thinking alike again. I'm selling my Ti's and am installing the GHL Bullet Series exhaust for the same reasons. Mike
