Default Exhaust

I've been wanting a Vette since I was 3 yrs old. After a couple of Mustangs and Camaros, I finally bought a 2005 Vette and now I'm ready to start buying a few up grades. I thought I'd start with exhaust but after a lot of reading and watching videos I'm more confused than ever. I thought I had decided to go with the SLP Loudmouth 2 but most say that the drone is pretty bad. Me and my wife do actually enjoy talking when we drive it to dinner. I want a pretty aggressive sound and money is a concern. Suggestions?

Borla ATAK is where I'll be going.....I think.....at least this week I do.

Everyone says you have to hear them in person as videos do not do any of these exhausts justice.

I have no idea how expensive Borla is but the tips are junk. Spend the cash and go for Corsa Xtreme or B&B Bullets.

Default first of all congrats & welcome to the 05 club

your best bet is to find a Corvette gathering where you can hear different systems. the drone will be worse on an automatic. also you will find all about the CORVETTE TAX. I have been running Corsa sports for many years and love them even when the engine was stock because they had no drone at all but sounded great under acceleration. there is also the option of finding a used system of a Z.
I have seen new mufflers start at $500.
