Exhaust sound
I realize this might be a little premature since I don't even own a Corvette, but it never hurts to do some research.
Does anyone have a C5 exhaust that sounds like either of these clips?

Most of the C5 exhausts I've heard have a higher pitched almost "cracking" sound to them rather than the low, deep, rumble.
Thanky you for any opinons.

Mine has more of the deep, but acceptable rumble. The car is one of the best sounding I've ever heard IMO. Mine is stock without cats installed. I have 100k on the mufflers so maybe they have lost some sound dampening though allowing the deeper sound mine has. Perfect for me. The only thing close is Flowmaster exhaust on a muscle car, but that still runs second on my preference.

do a search for me on youtube ... search for C5ZEE
I have videos of 3 different exhaust clips. All on the same car: zo6 ti, corsa pacecar, b&b bullet. Now I have GHL on there, I will make a video next week. I hate drone. GHL was the only "deep" rumble I found and has very little drone compared to b&b, borla, etc.
The GHL feels light weight compared to the other aftermarket systems, I am guessing they use much thinner metal.
B&B bullets were by far the loudest, deepest, most powerful sounding and got the most compliments and attention. Crowds at gas stations, etc. But the interior resonance / drone was so bad that I hated driving it more than 20 minutes. My head would hurt like crazy.
Alot of the cracking sound has to do with cats vs no cats and how well the car is tuned.
