Default c6 modified exhaust not sure which one to get

I own a 2006 coupe w/manual tranny.Need some advice out their about a cat back system.My desire is to get the sound as close to the 60's 70's sound of the muscle cars of the day.B&B Bullet and Mangnaflows magnapack systems interest me.Also have looked into the corsa extreme.I don't want anything that sounds"european" Also do you really need an X-pipe on an 06 or just keep the factory H and do these systems provide the as advertised horsepower rated on their product.Thanks to all in advance.FJL

Listen to the Borla Stinger. I've got a 'muscular' '67 427 Vette in the garage and the Stingers I installed on my '07 are as close as I could come to that old muscle car sound

I have a MagnaFlow, but sound is like women, we all like something different, so go listen to a couple and buy the one you like.

Also, headers will change the sound, so make sure you hear what you plan to buy.

There is no wrong answer........

I had the Borla Stingers w/x-pipe before I installed Kooks lts on my 07. Replaced with the Corsa Sports, the Borlas sounded super but were just a bit over the line with the lts. The Corsas do have that Euro sound and the B&B Bullits I have heard are the loudest. Try to listen to the different systems before putting out 1k plus for a system.
I did not notice any real performance increases with just the catback system. Now with the headers, cai, 160 stat, and dyno tune 30 ponies were found. Now I am just waiting for the brown truck to show up with Maggie. When does this madness end?

Research throughly. Deep muscle sound equals bad cabin drone. Corsa is european sound with no drone.

Borla stingers all the way. They sound awesome!!! I have them on my 2006 Z51. Borla also makes it as a GM Performance Part so you can even order it thru your dealer. PS - If you buy it thru the dealer you bought the carfrom, ask him for a parts discount. Worked for me!!

Hard to beat the flowmaster system for the price(under 400). I put one on a friends automatic 05 and it sounds good. Not very loud but it has a great tone and its drone friendly. I have Flomasters mufflers on 3 of my vehichles right now and they are loud! For some reason the Flowmaster system on the c6 does not have the common Flowmaster rumble and drone. Skip the x pipe if you are looking for a gain from it. In my opinion loud = more hp (less restrictive). On a stock car you will not see advertised gains if they claim more than 10hp.

I take it you think you've been in every C6 with a muscle car sound?

I really think you missed some-----like the ones with No Drone

No Way !! We have Borla Stinger Sports and "drone" is no problem. I can't believe everybody complains so much about it. Just my opinion though I guess..
