Best thing is to come to some meets. You can go to whisky cafe Lyndhurst, NJ on Saturday afternoons for the curs in or come to the park Queens tonight. There are some C6 with cat backs that show up.

I would strongly suggest that you hear a bunch of different exhaust systems in person before you buy ANYTHING.

what one person considers "no drone" could be "too much drone" to someone else.

the borla stingers are known to have drone, period.
wether the amount of drone they have would bother you or not, only you can decide.

there are only a couple of cat back systems out there that have no drone at all, one of them is Corsa, I have also heard that the GHL's don't drone, but have never heard them personally.

I have Corsa Indys.

good luck on the hunt!

I have to agree with CT on this hehe. It was his car that sent me down my path of exhaust discovery. After months of searching and after hearing them on his frc I ordered a set and am waiting for them to come in. My question to him when I heard them was...What have you got in that thing?! His response....Nothing. Just the exhaust B&B bullets

Hey there...

Always Listen BEFORE you buy....Call me in advance and I'll have a customer with your car and a Borla exhaust here for you to drive.

Borla makes AMAZING stuff....YOU WILL LOVE IT. I've NEVER had a complaint with Borla.

I agree, Borla's rock!!! Call Chuck and you can probably get them installed right away if you wish. Also if you want I will be happy to bring my C-6 to Chuck's to let you hear them!!

Borlas are ok, but if you plan on running no cats, you will have drone.

If you take a ride out to Carlisle this weekend you can not only hear several exhaust systems but also buy them at discounted prices and have them installed on site for free in about 20 minutes time....

I had PRT's (they made my head vibrate), I borrowed a set of Corsa's (they sounded like a motor boat idle) and liked neither.

Be guided by RPOZ4Z's advise. Sound is very subjective. Come out to a meet and LISTEN to others. I did that and decided on GHL's. No drone, NONE!! I wouldn't have anything else...but that's MY opinion.

LISTEN before you buy.

I'm a b&b fan.....I know C6dvl has bullets on his car and sounds friggin sweet....I had prt's on mine and loved them, but if the bullets were out at the time I'd have those instead......GHL"s sound nice also......the borlas just seem to have too much resonance and in the past I was more impressed with b&b's quality over borlas on other vehicles...like its been said before the best thing is to hear a bunch of cars same day same time with different exhausts and make your decision.

I live in Bucks County, PA....

about 20 minutes from the Philadelphia Exit of the Jersey Turnpike or 10 minutes from the Willow Grove Exit.

I am probably about !&1/2 - 1&3/4 hours from you.

I have two C6s, a manual tranny coupe with Corsa Sports and a A4 tranny Vert with a Magnaflow #15884 catback.

You are more than welcome to hear both, but I will bet you that you will want the Corsa Sports.

I had B&B Bullets on the Vert and swapped them for the Magnaflows.

Let me know if you want to hear them,

Howard

I loved the Borla's on my vert........ until I put on the Kooks Headers... now a bit to much drone. Log drives become a bit taxing. Love them, just not with combined headers.. just my 3 cents
