Default Exhaust System Advice

Hello,

I recently purchased a 2006 C6 six speed and I am looking to add an exhasut system to it. I would like something that will have a nice deep V8 sound to it that may add a bit of horsepower but most importantly not take away any of the mileage the car gets. Can anyone give some advice on what has worked for them. As of right now I am considering the Flowmaster but would love some input.

Thanks

Borla Stinger #11744
the deep rumble you are looking for and four 4" tips

Used systems show up quite often in the "C6 parts for sale"

thank yo ufor the advice. I am going to look into both of these systems. Another question, used vs new does it matter? Can you even buy used exhaust systems?

Seriously, I am really living up to my "Junior Member" status no????

Kooks headers and x pipe with a Corsa sport exhaust from GM. I ordered it thru my local GM dealers. Corsa makes the exhaust for GM

Default my choice

Kooks headers and x-pipe, corsa sport exhaust, also I would recommend a vara-ram intake. Let her breath in deep so she can breath out deep. You can order them all from Brandon at Maryland speed for a good price, and even get them jet-hot coated...
