Default Which exhaust?

Finally got my first C6 and I know there are a lot of aftermarket exhaust systems out there. Looking for some feedback from you folks on which systems you own or like the best.

Corsa Sport and Xtreme sound good, B&B Bullets sound great but are a little to much for some but both have nice tips. Borla sounds good but tips are hard to like.

I have Bullets on all of mine, but I love the sound, and whatever this thing they call "drone" is doesn't bother me one bit.

If you are considering a loud aftermarket exhaust system, find someone in your area to get a ride-along. This is the only way to know if you will like it or not!

Otherwise, you may or may not like what you end up with, no matter how many youtube clips you listen to.

I love the sound of Bullets but my wife couldn't tolerate it for long. I've got cutouts so I can go from a little wild with my Xtreme to rattling the windows when I want.

So it's down to voting exhaust tips at shows now days. No wonder I quit being judged years ago. Glad you're winning...keep up the good work.

Forgot... it was for the loudest, best sounding exhaust and looks.

I like mine. I did the muffler mod for next to nothing. About $20 for 2 hole saws and twenty minutes time.

Corsa Sport is my favorite but you need to go to a Corvette Show in your area and hear them for yourself.

B & B Fusions...best of both worlds. Quiet when you want, loud when you want.

I have Kooks headers & catted X pipe along with a Corsa sport axle back muffler system... totally awesome in my opinion!

I have borla stingers with quad 4" round tips on my C6, these stingers have very small mufflers on them, almost no drone, decently loud and after a few thousands miles they did get a little louder (not a complaint)

Just do some muffler deletes.

Cheapest option, Sounds nice, loud, nice rumble to it.

Only worry is it might to be too loud for some people
