Default Exhaust Question

Hey Everyone,

This is my first go around in a C6 LS3 Vette. I have had Corsa, Borla, and SLP exhausts in many of my C4s. I would like to know which exhaust gives the best overall sound quality without drone or being too loud. This Vette will also be driven by my other half, so if it is too loud, I will never hear the end of it. I have tried to listen to the different videos from people and the manufacturers, but I don't really think it is a true representation of what the real world sound is like, especially after the exhaust has been on for a while and is settling in.

I know this subject may have been covered a lot, but I am in real need of advice on this.

I've been running Corsa Sports for six years and have been very pleased. No drone whatsoever.

Originally I had Corsa Sport but switched to Xtreme a few years ago. Sport is probably your best bet.

I've been through 6 different cat back systems in 6 different Vettes.
All sound great. It's a personal thing. My personal favorite is what I have now. ARH headers with the stock NPP system. Plenty of compliments from Corvette guys. Get a mild to wild switch. You'll need it.
