Default exhaust preference on 06 c6

Just bought my 06 two days ago. Traded in my 05 mustang which was tuff. I am sure you guys get this question alot but which exhaust would you recommend for a more aggressive sound. I had bassani on my mustang and loved it. These are two totally different vehicles and looking for advice. thanks

Have a O6 and have been trying to decide. There are many threads on this question. I hope to hear a GHL set at the Chuck Berge Cruise-In -in Manasas Va this next week in. I had Corsas on my 99 C5 but was hoping for a deeper tone for my C6. Good Luck.

get the B&B bullets if you want aggressive. I love the sound mine make and never get tired of the compliments.

I have Flowmaster #10 racing mufflers on my C6 and had them on my 06 Mustang GT. Parts, labor, tips $365. They sound very similar to bullets. Loud and aggressive!!!

Exhaust tone, sound, drone is very subjective.
I've chosen the cat back by Zoomers exhaust....on order and should be installed next week.

4 , I bought the tips off the shelf at a local shop. The mufflers can be viewed on the Flowmaster web site, click on the racing tab. It's not a corvette kit, but most shops should be able to do it custom.

Thanks. I was thinking of the delta 50 series bolt on, 4 tips 3.5" # 17427, its a kit. Are the 50's more like stock? I prefer similar to bullets .

I had that exact kit on my C5, not very loud but it is louder than stock. I was very disappointed with it and I spent about $900 so I kept it until I traded the car. Not even close to bullets. I would compare the 50's to sport touring type kits. The #10's are a 1 chamber muffler and I think the 50 deltaflows were 4 chamber.

My experience with C5 and C6 catbacks is the more aggressive (louder), the more drone.

Happy medium for me is the Corsa sport.
