Bye Bye Imports...Helloooooooo Corvette
From San Antonio, TX, I just wanna say hello to CF! I've always been into imports but the last few years, I've grown tired of them and switched over to a Corvette. I'm new to the forum and the Corvette scene. Not sure how everything works here yet but it doesn't seem too hard to figure out. I'm interested in meeting fellow Corvette enthusiasts in the San Antonio area.
As my first Corvette, I decided to get a 2011 base convertible. Mods include: A&A supercharger, Comp cams, American Racing headers, Flowmasters (about to switch to Corsa or Borla, any suggestions?), and many more. I'll post pics up as soon as I get more familar with the forum.

C6 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
Welcome and congrats. Sounds like a nice C6 with some good power mods.
I have Corsa Sports on mine and like them. Little more of a European sound but no droan at all.
I suggest going to a show or club meeting and listening to the various systems. Intake and headers will change the sound.

2023 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
2019 C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods)
Welcome to the Corvette world. I just added Corsa sports to my 2012 Callaway and so glad I went with them. They sound great and love the car even more now. I have had Corsas on four different Corvettes now. They have a more European tuned sound, but their big selling point is no drone.
My buddy has them on his Z06 with cam and headers, it sounds amazing. I would highly recommend Corsa exhaust for your combo.

Congrats dude! Hell of a first C6! Best of luck with it and post some pics soon! Welcome to the forums. You will learn so much about these cars here.
I have no first hand experience with either of those exhaust setups, but I hear nothing but good things about Corsa's system. I would go with that.

Welcome to the forum and Corvettes. When you post, the little square box will let you post a pic. Just clik on it and follow the prompts. Easiest way I know.
What import did you come from? How does the Corvette compare? There is also a regional forum. You might find some folks there from SA.

Welcome to the CF
I'll be the first to recommend Borla. I have the S Type II on my 2013 and love it. No drone and a very nice burble on deceleration. Otherwise quiet unless you step on the GO pedal. Lots of fun, enjoy your Vette, it is a beautiful beast.

I need to wrap my roof panel like that! That's one of my winter projects this year.
