Exhaust on a budget
I just purchased an 2006 C6. I love it but its too quiet! Im on a strict budget, so I was wondering if I removed the resonator, and hallowed out the mufflers (left cat alone), would I have improved sound (louder)?
I appreciate your comments and suggestions....

How much of a budget? I would look for the NPP mufflers used and install them. I can tell you how to wire up a switch for less than 20 bucks in parts, once you have the mufflers on the car. You can do the NPP muffler mod to them first, a popular mod that is well documented on the forum.

I'll look up NPP....
While searching I noticed you can pull a fuse to open the flaps in the mufflers? Does anyone know where this fuse is, or atleast the name and I can look in the manual myself?

I removed my mufflers completely and put turndowns right after the H- Pipe. But I like it loud....

The fuse for the system is the lower right red fuse in the passenger foot well. It's labeled something like exhs (terrible memory so don't believe a word I say).

Look in the for sale section or just get the mufflers replaced at a muffler shop. Real cheap. Your stock mufflers are big and chambered and cause some back pressure which is a loss in some power. Get a straight thru muffler which will still keep the volume down some and just have a shop cut and weld the new ones on.
