ESPECIALLY when exhausts with the same or a lot MORE material by the same manufacturer(s) are priced hundreds of dollars cheaper simply because they're not "priced" for the Vette market.
next question?

You have asked a question no one can ever answer. A good and reasonable $ muffler shop is hard to find. Even in Detroit I had a hard time finding one.
I feel sorry for you C6 guys in a way, the GTO has a MUCH better sounding factory exhaust. Side by side comparisons of a 2005 GTO and 2005 C6 vert. proved this. The C6 owner is ordering a B & B system cause his C6 sounded like a "Buick" at idle. Why GM did not give it a better tone is confusing to me.
