Re: Which exhaust ? (Wolf1171)
comes down to personal sound preference and ability to deal with resonance. It seems clear, that some resonance but deeper exhaust comes from the Borla System. The Corsa system seems to be a favorite as it flows well, looks nice, and no resonance. I am going with Corsa but sure you will be happy with either one ! :cheers:

Don't want any reverb back into the car? Just the mean sound of the engine.

Re: Which exhaust ? (Wolf1171)
I went with the Corsa Touring, no exhaust drone in the cab . Fit and finish was excellant, a little too tame on the exhaust note at idle but music to my ears at wide open throttle. I am thinking also now about the X-pipe....

I agree with nevadacoin, I think you should give the GHL a listen. I would like to hear it in person, but the sound bites are very good and there is no reported resonance that there appears to be with the Borla systems. The C4 Borlas were famous for their resonance.

I'm heard most the exhausts for C5s (but not the new GHL) and liked the Stingers the best and bought them. Its a great combination of awesome sound and no/low resonance. Quiet when cruising but mean when you get on it. They have the added benefit of lower cost (although not as much as before) and very lightweight.

Re: Which exhaust ? (ncvetteman)
How much would I be looking at for install? Or, would it be better to give it a try myself?

Re: Which exhaust ? (Wolf1171)
I have the FlowMaster setup on my C5. It was installed prior to buying the car. It has a very unique sound and I do get a lot of questions about it. It's nice and throaty, but not over bearing in my opinion.
Does anyone else on here have a FlowMaster exhaust?
