Help please with muffler delete
Good day to everybody and thank you for taking the time. I'll make it short and to the point. 2016 ZO6, convertible, 7-speed manual. It has a helix Corsa x pipe, and AFE cold air intake. I would like to get a louder exhaust sound and even after pulling fuse 42, I'm still looking for a more aggressive throaty RAW sound.
the louder the better. Now obviously getting a set of headers for $4,000 would likely be the most ideal scenario, but I was thinking of something a little less expensive in permanent such as either a muffler delete or a cat delete. I see a huge variation in prices from the different manufacturers of muffler delete products. Some ranging from two hundred and up to 1500 which seems extremely excessive. Can anybody point me in the direction and a product that will not only give me the sound that I want but be affordable.
on a side note, I know that some of the tips that manufacturers use with the muffler delete products are inferior to the OEM ones and that is a slight problem that I could probably either live with or weld the OEM tip after. Once again thank you for any feedback

You want a magnaflow 19236 competition system. It basicsally has no mufflers. Your vette will sound loud and scream like a racecar. Ive had it on my Z06 now for a few years with an x pipe and it sounds like no other at the cruise nights.

Also added aFe intake & Corsa cat-less mid-pipe to my '17 Z06. I figured that was loud enough. Any right foot pedal pressure lit up the decibel meter.

I am catless with 2” ARH headers but with the factory axle back. I personally think my car is too quiet.
How is the drone at highway speeds?
I apologize for all of the questions. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find much information on the AWE track exhaust (or comparable muffler delete) with cat-less headers.
