Default Zoomers in DC area?

One of the cat back systems I am interested in is Zoomers. Seen the pix and heard the clip. Was wondering is anyone in the DC area had them on their Vette - would be interested in seeing/hearing them in person.

I'm not in your area, but I can recommend the Zoomers for your C6, do you have the A6 or M6 tranny? I have the A6 and I chose the Zoomers because they advertise minimal drone. There is a tiny bit with the A6 because the damn motor is always lugging, but i gotta say the zoomers has it under control. Other than that great sound all the time and never obnoxiuos like some..

Thanks. I have an M6. I have only found one negative post on Zoomers with respect to resonance. I am really leaning toward them because the look is awesome.

I've heard there is no drone with the manual and the Zoomers quad tip set-up, there is a local guy that posts here that will tell you. VETTE4LES is his name I believe...I have an A6 and there is really no sustaining drone or that booming sound that everyone is affraid of. I like the look and IMHO the sound is one of the best out there.

If you have an A6 there IS drone, trust me. But, "one mans drone is another mans music." Do not buy them or any exhaust system before you actually hear them in person and go for a ride in the car. That being said, Zoomers is a quality product, sounds great, and has the best (my opinion only) looking tips on the market.

I have the MN6 and I think that makes a difference. I had the Zoomers with dual tips for a few months and there was a little drone at 1500 RPM. Now with the quad tips the drone is almost gone. I think they sound great and would recommend them to anyone that does not want a loud system. The quad tips look cool also.
