Default Which Performance Exhaust?

Okay so I may be getting a 2007 z06. I sold my 05 base and it had a corsa extreme. I liked the sound, but I felt like it needed more of a muscle tone to it. I want something pretty loud but don't want to run straights. If anyone has suggestions that would be great!

Mufflers = 2hp gain

Headers = 25hp gain


Don't waste your money on the mufflers. Call Maryland Speed and get a smoking deal on 1-7/8" headers with cats. Then get an air intake and a tune and you should be up 40rwhp

You still have to have some kind of mufflers.

Headers will make a huge difference in the sound and give a nice bump in performance to go along with it.

. Well, I saved money over the named brands and went with mid america's quad thunder. It is a head turner. There is mild drone while cruising, but nothing to make one want to take the system off. Mild acceleration is beautiful, while aggressive is racecar wild. Idle is nice and deep with a healthy blast when the car is started. If you don't enjoy a good feel of the exhaust when driving, don't get this system. It changes the personality of the vehicle, but in a muscular way.

I've been going around in the same circles. This thread had a lot of sound clips for me to compare which helped a lot

Longtube headers plus x pipe plus corsas = pure pleasure to your ears.

Definitely adding headers would be step 1
