Default C5 Exhaust

Hey guys I recently put some long tube and an off-road x-pipe on my c5 and kept the borla stingers that I bought the car with. One thing that is driving me crazy is the drone I get around 1500 RPM while cruising down the highway.

I was wondering if there is any mufflers that I can get for the car to quiet that drone up (for a reasonable price). I saw some videos of c5s with the Z06 Ti mufflers and long-tubes, and I liked the sound of those. Where could I get a set of those? Is there any place that sells them?

Thanks!

Matt

Corsa Pace cars or Touring will not have the drone.

Your best bet would to buy them used off the forum, you can get them for about 400$.

I got a used set off a forum member for $350 which after a little elbow grease and simple green cleaner look like new again.

I have TPIS LTs, Random Catted X pipe and Ti exhaust and there is no drone. It is almost as quiet as stock cruising until you romp the gas, then it gets a mean growl to it.
