Default Exhaust Thread

I know this has been brought up a thousand times, but we really need an exhaust thread. Everyone(myself included) wants to know what the C6 sounds like with different exhaust setups. I'm sure this will be great help to all. I should be getting my C6 soon, so I'm currently listening to as many exhaust setups I can find. So, far, I'm leaning toward the B&B Bullets. So, guys start your engines!

Check this out to hear the Corsa Touring and Sport exhausts. This is why I bought the Sport. http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=1.119.6688

I think you can hear different types on the mid americain motorsports website. At least that's what was in their last catalog.

Vrroooom, Vrrrrrroooooom, Vrrrrrrooooooooomm- blat, blat blat-popgurgleblat, rumble, rumble, rumble.......

Okay, there is my contribution to the exhaust thread. I have Bullets and am very happy with them. Others hate them. Only way to tell is to listen to them in person or take a chance.

Paying a grand for police attracting noise and no power gain is as dumb as putting decals on your car.

My Police attracting exhaust

Not making fun of Spin because he is correct. I live across the street from the Chief of Police of the town I live in. He used to wave to me

Bullets= American Muscle car sound. I love them but I would recommend you listen to whatever you're considering first. What everyone here likes is pretty subjective and very much a matter of personal choice, like picking a color. I will say that I do not find the Bullets as crazy loud as many claim but they are definitely muscular and noticeable.

Anyone else? I'd like to hear some different setups too. And as far as the attracting cops post. I could care less. If I'm not doing anything unlawfull, then they can kiss my ***. Besides, my current car is a mustang cobra with an off-road x-pipe and magnaflow catback, and at anything over 3500 rpms to redline it screams! And i never got pulled over for my exhaust!

I have an A6 and have heard that GHL exhaust is now drone free. Can anyone speak from first hand experience?

I am looking for a louder exhaust than Corsa, but do not want the drone of bullets.

But I agree with so many others...the stock exhaust does not do a 6.0L V8 justice.

I don't think you can get any idea what an exhaust really sounds like with a clip. I've heard a clip of the GHL system, and it doesn't sound anything like my GHL system. It's like hearing clips of a gunshot versus being next to the gun when it's discharged....and harmonics and drone sure don't show up in a digital format. Ya gots to hear them in person. Go to the effort of going somewhere that Vettes congregate and listen to the real deal. I've had a few forum members ask if they could come by the house to listen and ride in the C6. I was more than happy to have them come over for a beverage and exhaust talk. The last time it happened was about three weeks ago, and GHL installed a system for him within a couple days.

I can give you my impressions of how these sound after Wed. Right now they are sitting on the floor in my living room.






If you like what you have on your cobra then I think the Bullets are for you.
