exhaust
Hey guys first post!
I am looking to throw exhaust on my 2006 a6 vette.
Here is my wishlist setup so far
Kooks 1 3/4" Long Tube Headers - 2005-2008 Chevy Corvette C6 (LS2 & LS3)
Kooks x pipe with 3" intel x 3" center x 2.5" outlet
Now for the exhaust I cant decide between the corsa sport or corsa extreme.
I want a muscle type sound but also not terrible drone
A few people say go with the corsa sports if im doing headers. Would the corsa extreme with the kooks be too much?
Thanks

Corsa is more of a high pitch Euro car sound. If you want something deeper I would say Borla or B&B fusions (The Fusions will give you the option to open and close the valve). Or a lot cheaper option is get some NPP mufflers and later add a NPP in a box kit so you can open and close the valves. The other option would be to look at the SLP Power-Flo and maybe Loudmouth II but those bullet type mufflers tend to drone especially when you throw headers to them.

LG Long tube headers into NSX mufflers on my 2006 M6 sound awesome. No drone at any RPM. LG is made in USA (Texas). Probably a little less expensive than the Corsas which is a more European High pitch sound. But both sound great and are high quality products. The LG"s fit was perfect. Sound is Individual preference. Search youtube and you can get an idea of the differences. Or preferably find a local club to listen in person.

Maybe I'm wrong but just since I've been looking through a lot of header post and what not once you throw headers on your going to have drone. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I had Corsa Xtreme on my 11 GS but I have headers and cam coming up in November. So I took it off and when with NPP mufflers (that had already been muffler modded) and installed the NPP in a box kit and I have no compliant it sounds deeper than the Corsa Xtreme but when I put the headers and cam on it, it will be ALIVE!!!

You can have two identical Vettes with same set up and have one with a drone and one with none. Or have it at different RPMs. But it is a small price to pay for great sound and increased power.

Whatever you do, don't get Dynomax mufflers. Mine came with those and the sound is great at idle and on acceleration, but they drone at hwy speed in 6th, and on deceleration and throttle lift-off they make a popping sound like a 2-stroke motorbike.
I found a set of OEM take-offs and am about to revert mine. If money were no object I might consider Borla Touring though.

When I compared the costs it looked to be about $500 for Diablew, the dyno tune cost me $700. As to which one is better its up to you, I think the "dyno" tune is the way to go but its your call
Good luck
