Default Best Sounding C5? Help Me?

I want my 03 convertible to sound like this and cannot find an email or phone number for wickedvette productions if anyone knows who's car this is please figure out a way to get me in touch with them. i just put some borla stingers on and a bassani x-pipe on and it doesnt sound like this video at all. if anyone else can help out in figuring out why i have the same catback exhaust as this video and my car sounds so much different, please explain. would stock exhaust manifolds vs aftermarket headers change the type(pitch) of sound or would different x-pipes (made by different companies) change the sound too? cats vs no cats change the pitch or just make the same pitch louder without cats? please help. i feel lost with my car not being the way i want it to be, well....your all corvette owners too....you know what i mean.

hope i have not violated any copyright laws by posting this, but i really need to get in touch with this owner because this is simply the best sounding c5 i have heard. i had to load the video onto youtube because i could not remember which website i got the file from onto my computer and could not figure out how to load it from my computer so i just created a link. i hope if the owner see's this that he is flattered and not offended

Hmmm Sounds like decent Headers to me. I thnk you're going to have a hard time because PC speakers aren't the best things to be asking advice through/from...

How does my exhaust sound to you? Minus the Mic getting over powered and cutting out on the revs...

It really depends how the whole system is built... This is mine so that you can get a take on various setups...

It says on the website that he has TTS headers. Manifolds sound completely different. Go get yourself a set of headers and your stingers will sound like that. Ever heard a cammed C5? You'll forget all about that car.

Headers/cats/ and X/H pipes all sound different.

You'd really have to have the complete package to be able to duplicate the sound.

Yeah that and trying to do accurate sound comparisons through cheap a$$ PC speakers.... Well forget about it!

Headers will make you very happy! Shoot me a PM if you want a killer price on Headers and an X...
