Call Bryan at GHL; see if they are gonna do/are doing C6 exhaust. Be different, the quality and service alone from GHL are incredible. Add in the sound they get on their C5 exhaust that will likely transfer over to C6 and you're winning all the way around. Just my opinion of course.

You'll notice very distinct differences in idle sound among the cat-backs. To me, Borla comes closest to the 60s sound I cherished so much when I had my 68. Others range from motorboat to truck-sounding that is just not natural, IMO.
Enjoy!

WARNING!
I bought a set of Borla Stingers for my C5, and I absolutely HATED them. If you go with these, the interior resonance between 1500 and 2000RPM is maddening. They will drive you insane -- especially if you have a 6-speed, where highway cruising in 6th gear puts you squarely within that RPM range. I actually returned them and happily paid the restocking fee.
I ended up putting on a Corsa Touring kit. The difference is night and day -- I'm completely satisfied with this kit. Idle is more aggressive than stock, WOT has a very exotic sound, and you hardly notice a difference from stock when cruising. It a very classy choice.

Corsa / Borla / others
Read my post about Corsa. It may not be the deciding factor type of thing but this is a real plus for Corsa.
