Default EXHAUST TOO LOUD?

SHOULD I INSTALL THE HIGH PERFORMANCE CATS AND THE BASSANI X PIPE WITH THE CORSA PACE CAR EXHAUST? MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TOTAL SYSTEM MAY BE TOO LOUD.

After I removed my cats, I had to put the STOCK exhaust back on instead of my Corsa Touring exhaust. It was just too damn loud! And there was a very annoying resonance between 2K and 3K RPMS. The stock exhaust without the cats in place sounds like the Corsa Touring exhaust does when the cats are in place, except perhaps a little deeper sounding.

Remember when posting in ALL CAPS that is considered YELLING!!!!!

The exhaust system you are talking about won't be too loud. The other good thing is that you can always go back to the stock system if you don't like what you hear or another exhaust system. :cheers:

If it's too loud for you still, see if someone will trade this Z06 exhaust for your Pace Car exhaust.

Nice article in current Vette Magazine about an exhaust replacement on a C5 with power results and noise comparison.
