Default FRC stock muffler?

What muffler came stock on the FRC? I have a guy saying his FRC came with the Z06 TI mufflers but I was under the impression the FRCs got the basic stainless mufflers like the base C5s. Reason I ask is I'm looking for a TI mufflers to replace my stinger mufflers as they are too loud with LTs and no CATs (sound cool but not livable as a daily driver).

The Ti mufflers were first introduced on the Z06. He may have purchased an FRC where a PO installed a Ti system. Otherwise all systems are aluminized steel, never was a SS system on any C5.

Why don't you just have a few resonators welded in?

That's another option I've considered.

+1 on having the same basic coupe/convertible mufflers from the factory
