Yes, first in on the vote. I have the GM Off Road system. It does have some drone but I love the aggressive sound. You really can't go wrong with any of these, especially the Corsa's for no drone.

The two defined choices you have listed are worlds apart. Im guessing that you have not heard these in person? If this is the case I would suggest you try and attend some get togethers or arrange to meet up with forum members in your area and hear some of the options. There is no substitute for hearing them in person. If something strikes your fancy try and get a ride in the car. Most owners I have met will gladly demo their pipes. You would want to pay attention to any drone and be realistic in your ability to tolorate it.

I'm not a huge fan of the sound of the Corsa Sport alone, but I have heard they sound great with LG headers.

I think that forum memeber Wayne O posted a clip of his LPE 403 Vette with a Cam, LG Headers and a Corsa Sport, I thought that was one of the best sounding clips I've heard on here.

I'm not sure but also think I remember Chuck at COW saying he has started using Corsa with LGs too.

Corsa Sports with headers are EVIL!

But, still no drone

I currently have a 2007 C6 with just Corsa Sports and no headers and I am still happy.

Other C6 combos I have had are Magnaflow #15884, B&B Bullets, and I've also had Corsa Sports with and without headers.

Zoomers for me. They have a nice sound and little drone at 1500 RPM. Quad tips are now available also.

I vote "other" and stay with the stock exhaust. You'll get great sound on acceleration, sneaky looks(stock appearing) and only sacrifice about 4-5 HP over cat backs and save $1K+

Default Stock? Is for me.

I like the sound of aggresive exhaust but,, I couldn't handle drone and all that as much as I drive,,, so I'm thinking headers, an x pipe and the stock mufflers,,, other wise,, I would do like the one forum member said,,, go get into some cars and listen,,, you don't want to drop 1500 on some crap YOU don't like. this is such an opinion thing,,, also,,if you are going to do more mods later,, try to find a car with similar mods that way you know how your baby is going to sound...MAKE HER SING

I agree, even with my LG's, the stock exhaust is just too tame. WOT sounded good, but I didn't want to have be WOT to hear my exhaust. Corsa Sports are perfect.

Under normal circumstances that is correct. However you've never heard a blown C6 with headers, offroad x-pipe w/Sports have ya? Totally different sound. Once you hear that setup your quote becomes null and void.

there are so many options it makes my head want to explode. but personally, i've chosen to keep stock axle-back and concentrate on headers(just as many options there it seems). then move on to the rear section for 'sound and looks' stuff.
