I think that there is so much mod-ing to the exhaust going on because we are looking for that sound we each think the car should have, but our tastes vary. One day I will likely change my exhaust system, but I am not sure which one I will go with.

For now I will live vicariously through you guys and look for feedback to steer me in the right direction.

I finally decided to get the loudest, and if I hated it I would just sell it and get the next step down (the stingers). I recieved great service from Corvettes of Houston and a great price (cheaper than anywhere else).

I was quite anxious to start it up for the first time. Damn it was loud Not bad loud, but a very deep, burbling, rumbling, three harleys at a stoplight loud. I could not believe that sound came from a stock header/cat/cam c6. It sounds like a 454 with a 264/274 cam and open headers.

I loved it, but I still was concerned. Would this get tiresome, especially on the weekdays during commute? I can't answer that yet, but to say this car gets attention is a drastic understatement. Being a red C6, I'm already accustomed to it, but this exhaust took that to a whole other level.

I've already compared it in person to a borla and a corsa. People who say their NPP with it open or their Corsa Sports sound strong and powerful really have no idea (not to **** off half the people on here)
next to this even the borla sounds like a 4 banger Camry.

The most amazing part is that cruising on the freeway doesn't drone at all! You can hear a low, deep pitch but I wouldn't consider it droning, perhaps some would. You can still use the Bose system and still converse with the wife (not sure if that is a plus). The only time it really drones is 1500-1900rpm going up hills and I found the only thing you can do is downshift.

So this exhaust isn't for everyone, but if you want your car to sound badass; accept no substitute. I'd post a video but they don't do it justice just like every other one I have heard online.

I guess your outlook changes the older you get, it's ok, don't feel bad about it, but perhaps you should look into Crown Vic or a Grand Marquis

For the record I had the B&B Bullets on for less than 24 hours before I removed and sold them. The way the interior pieces buzzed and the distorted images in all the mirrors was bad enough, but after a 30 minute drive the ringing in my ears was enough to convince me that the Bullets were just not for me. With my M6 the drone between 1400 and 1700 RPM was unbearable.

I finally bought installed Borla Spots and never looked back.

I fear folks will suffer hearing damage similar to folks that listen to some of those obnoxious car audio systems that thump through my sub division regardless of hour.

Very rude and possibly physically harmful.

I am affraid that the in-cabin drone at those RPMs will "over-ride" the great sound on the outside, meaning that I will not be able to hear the sweet outside sound since the drone will "cover" it.... Your experience, since this is an old thread, will be greatly appreciated!
