Default Best NO drone exhaust

Ok, I know this subject has been beaten to death. I've decided to order a new exhaust tomorrow if not sooner. Either the B&B Rt. 66 or Corsa Sports, plus the B&B X pipe for either the 66 or Sports.

Corsa is a sure bet, no annoying drone or resonance.

From the clips, the 66 sounds deeper, a real plus. But, I've read of some complaints concerning resonance when the system is under a little load and at speed. Tips look great on the 66 system.

So, what do do??? I want to hear my XM, talk to a passenger, but I want to hear the LS2 at idle as well..

I need to go to some Corvette meets and hear for myself before I dish out $1200. That's the only way I will know for sure what they really sound like. The internet sound clips all sound the same to me and you can't accuretly tell what it will sound like inside at cruise until you sample the real deal.

I spent the better part of the day researching exhaust comments. So, I've made a decision, the Vette is a civilized car, going to keep it civilized. Just got off the phone, ordered the Corsa Sports, quad tips and a B&B X pipe. Tempted to go headers too, but I held myself back..

I think you made a good choice. I have the Corsa Sport w/ dual tips & no X pipe. There is no resonence and they bark when you put your foot in it.

I have not heard any others. I can only say that my custom exhaust, using Magnaflow mufflers in place of the stock mufflers has no drone. A strong, deep, loud tone during idle and acceleration, quieting to barely noticable at cruise.

It won't be long now, I'm trying to decide between the Bullets and Rte 66, and the deciding factor is the gym run every morning at 4:00 am, HB cops don't have much to do at that time and it would be easy to find me . Still love the Bullets at WOT!

Default Resolution

You can't ask people to provide an objective answer if they have plunked down a grand for a system. Of course, their system is great or they would not have purchased it. Steve Miller is the only guy I know that bought a system (BB Bullets) and canned it. Steve now has Corsa Sports.

Only viable resolution would be to get sound monitoring equ and place it in cars with each different system. Drive each car down the same road at the same speed. Etc Etc Anything else is personal opinion.
