exhaust
I sold my stock exhaust to a guy that was going to do that but never heard back from him on how it turned out. I did the TI exhaust mod, used 1 1/4" TI pipe with a 3/4" hole, should have gone to at least an inch, very quite on the highway at 75. Sounds aggessive when I get on it. Got video with sound ot cruise at 75 and getting on it if you want to hear the TI mod.

stock muffler bypass mod
I had the muffler bypass mod done on stock non Z06 mufflers. It does increase sound at wide open throttle (wot), but didn't achieve the idle sound I was looking for. I then installed a x-pipe and achieved the muscle car idle and the bypass sound at wot. No highway drone and is not loud. It is an inexpensive mod to a better sound. My 2 cents.

I paid about $60 at the local muffler shop.
The guy just used wetted cardboard to shield parts of the car, cut out a hole, cut some pipe and welded it in place.
I painted it all back gloss black (along with the cans) and most cannot even tell it was done.
