Been waiting to see what GHL would come up with for the C6. I loved the sound and quality of the GHL on our C5. The price, quality, tips, and sound where all very nice. Plus it wasn't the same system everyone else had.

 

I ordered Borla

 

I just bought a new C6 not long ago too.

Having had several F-bodies, mostly Firebirds, and most recently a Red02Firehawk, I know about "drone". For the LS1 it was at 2150 rpm to 2250 rpm. I have tried many exhaust systems, even Corsa and Borla and they had the drone. The way I choose to deal with it was by gearing. I havethe 3.42 performance gears in my 2000 Formula and when you drive 72 to 74 you hear the drone.
When I ordered my Firehawk, I made sure it had a six speed, instead of an automatic, that is the second way to avoid the drone. Since I like to drive from 70 to 75, I don't know of another way to avoid it, other then changing gears, which a friend of mine did.

Yes, some brands have less "dreaded drone", but I have not heard one yet that does not have one somewhere on the rpm curve. If you think about the physics involved, it is almost impossible to get rid of it. Especially if you know anything about how noise cancelling works. It takes at equal reactive force to cancel sound, and that is hard to do. I have read a lot about what the military did to keep the stealth quiet, just say I know a crew chief. Anyway, it is very expensive to get rid of it. The easy way, is the way I mentioned above.

Yes, I am adding headers and a cat-back system. And, I made sure it was a 6 speed, with Z51. So hopefully, when I install them, I can avoid the rpm it occurs at.

 

Give the Magnaflows a listen.

 

My Corsa sports don't drone and I love the sound, as does the wife.

 

GHL Exhaust for C6 Corvettes are now on their way from Motor Sport Image & Performance.

MSI is the first to offer GHL exhaust on the Corvette Forum for a one time discounted price. This exhaust does not include an X-pipe (nor does it need one).

This exhaust system is available in either two tip configuration or four tip configuration.

The price on the C6 exhaust is as follows;

2 tip, 4” in diameter, Part # C6-246 - Regular Price $ 1069.97,
Special price for orders placed prior to May 15, 2005 shall be $969.97 plus applicable tax (within California) and shipping charges.

4 tip, 4” diameter, Part # C6-446 has a Regular Price of $ 1149.97,
Special price for orders placed prior to May 15, 2005 shall be $1049.97 plus applicable tax (within California) and shipping charges.

All orders should begin shipping by the second week of May.

All orders will need to be pre-paid (Visa, Mastercard or Cashier’s Check) prior to shipment. There will be no C.O.D.s. No returns on used, altered or damaged parts.

 

So if I get it an don't like it, I am screwed out of my money? What ever happened to satisfaction guaranteed?

 

Now that is a nice looking set up. Congrads!

 

What am I missing here? Corsa's BB's and etc are $1100+ but you can achieve the same thing by spending $500 on Magnaflo's and just change out the mufflers.

I'm sure the Corsa's and others are great products but why change out the entire rear portion of the system if you don't have to.

 

GHL

 

exactly and have a great sounding car. I had the Corsa Pace on my C5, not going that direction again.

 

anyone here have the GHL system....louder than corsa or quieter

 

I would think that if you buy something like exhaust for example, install it and don't like the way it sounds, why should you expect the reseller to refund your money. You should have done your homework! Whether or not you like the sound is purely subjective and no one can guarantee your satisfaction on that issue. Now if it's a quality or fitment issue, that's a different story.

 

GHLs run without an X pipe or second can to eliminate resonance, cuz' they don't need them. They are more aggressive that the Touring, and not as "no mufflerish" as those with no cans at all. They are quite "rumbly" at idle, aggresive on acceleration and, I think, as quite as Touring at cruise.

I should by now, but I don't know anything about the sound of this system. I ordered this same system Sat. before last 5-07-05. As of today MSI has not answerd my e-mails so I called GHL and I was told they are way behind and my system may ship out next Wed! That would be two and one half weeks to get a system that MSI told me was ready to ship except for a box to ship it in. I know this is the system I want and I will wait whatever time I have to (within reason) but this is not a good way to do business! I'm sure my credit card was charged the day I ordered. I hope it was not because if it was that will be my last dealing with MSI. Like I said I hope they did not charge my card until the system ships and I hope to spend more dollars with them on brake parts but this not answering e-mails and giving BS delivery dates is bad business. If I have not learned a thing in 22 years of owning a business it's your better off telling the customer the truth. Most will respect you for it instead of being mad like they will be if they catch you in a lie!

I have had my GHL system for several weeks, and I like it better every day!! It's loud when I want it to be and almost as quiet as stock when cruising. I especially like the rumble at idle.

I think you will be pleased when you get them. Sorry about the nonresponsiveness of MSi as you relate it. You should address your credit card concerns to them - hopefully they will be fair.

I'm sure GHL is working as fast as they can (hell, that what they in business for), but I think these things were marketed by dealers before they were ready to ship, and that will **** off a lot of people. Based on their C5 systems, a lot of C6 owners were waiting on the development of the C6 system, and that, no doubt, caused a back-up. In the scheme of things, it's better to have a well thought out and well made system than one that is assembled without regard to workmanship or the poor guys slaving over the welders. Quality takes time on these systems because they are cranked out one at a time. I know GHL would rather take the time to do it right than push product out the door. They are a small outfit that hand makes product, and does little advertising - they have to depend on good feedback from customers.

Rich,

I agree with most of what you say but the post that shows these systems would be ready to ship out to the customer the second week of this month had reply's from Jeff at GHL. He never once said anything about them not being able to ship last week. The thing is I'm not even in that big a hurry! I just don't like being jerked around. All that had to happen to make me happy is to tell me when I ordered the worst case ship date and not charge my card until the product had shipped. Over in the Lightning world (and I'm sure here in the Corvette world also) there are some not so honest business men. Since I have only had a Vette for a few weeks and don't know a single person that own's one I don't know who to talk to about who to trust and who to stay away from.

Could anyone post the GHL sound clip. I would like to hear them and im sure so would many other folks in the forum.
