Check out the Stainless Works Systems
http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...ksexhaust.html
You can't really beat the build quality, and they are made right here in the USA with high quality 304 Stainless Steel, not that cheap China bought SS some companies are making their stuff with...
http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...ksexhaust.html

Corsa has great offerings too, and they are made in the USA too
http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...saexhaust.html

Both are famous for having no drone

Peace

Installed GHL's three weeks ago, I admit there is very little drone at steady or consistent speed, but the loudness getting there is a little too much. Have tried to seal off with "frost king " barrier in cargo area but still get acceleration noise"loudness in cabin". Any suggestions? Have you experienced this?

LOVE my Corsa Xtreme's.. Crazy Loud at WOT. On the Highway there is no drone, you can't hear them at all. Perfect for road trips!

I have a '03 vert and had the Corsa Pace Car exhuast 9now appearently refered to as the Sport I guess) and x-pipe. Great and no drone. Added headers to the mix this year, high flow cats and the pace car and there's no drone. You will be pleased with the top up or down.... and especially while your foot is in the go fast peddle
