I am not saying you will or will not gain any hp with the Flowmasters.I dont think you will notice a 5-10hp gain with any system you chose.

Instead of a POLL I suggest to find some cars near you and hear the various exhaust systems available.

You will make a $1000 mistake if you buy w/o hearing firs hand how each system sounds.

I was thinking Corsa Sport until I heard them tonight on an automatic. After having Borla Stingers on my C5 Z06, the Corsa's sounded tame.

I would like the Borla muscle car sound with no drone at highway speeds. I remember a friend had GHL bullets on a C5 Z06 and they sounded great when accelerating but made little or no drone.

So how about on the C6?

Thanks!

I have a prototype system from Quick Time Performance that includes bypass/cutouts in the axle back. It sounds really good with the cutouts closed, no drone at highway or local speeds. I have a convertible, it is OK with the roof up or down.
With the cutouts open, the car is loud and sounds amazing. I have heard others and it is about as loud as any I have heard. The best part, hit the switch and they close.
I chose square tips, oval will be available. I think they will become available in the next several months since my set was the one used for final fitting. I know they will be available at Carlisle.

I'll try to get a video up in the near future.

Here it is. I hope it works.

That sounds like a diesel at idle, weird... Looks cool, what exhaust is that quick time? Never heard of them. I got the Zoomers quad tips, nice mellow sound.. here's a clip form their site...
