I may be getting readdy to change it
but I have to admit, at midnight, in a tunnel with the top down, at WOT, a stock exhaust on a vert does not sound all that bad.

I never said it was loud, or tile shaking, I just said it sounded good...it may just be from me being a musician, and looking, or rather listening deeper into sounds and hearing pitches, tones, and overtones, but like stereos that blare at ear damaging decibels, you can't always notice those things when the volume level is too high.

I know....I would have done it today, but my debit card has fraud protection on it and I can't do any high dollar ($500.01+) online purchases without calling and having the fraud lock lifted and I forgot to do it today.

Sorry.... stock exhaust is whimpy... if you don't want drone then get yourself some Corsas... you get all the good sounds w/o any of the bad.

Corsas are made from stainless, but the Extremes are within a couple of pounds of the Z06 Ti simply because there's less mass to them. The Corsa Indys/Tourning models are rather heavy.
I've had lots of exhaust setups on various C5s and these Corsa Extremes are far and away the best of both worlds. They're loud when you floor it and literally silent at cruise in high gears.... it's really trick how the helmholtz resonator concept works. Here's what they look like.... at first I didn't understand how the chamber sitting of the main pipe did any muffling, but it's a tuned frequency chamber that cancels out unwanted sounds like the chambers on the intact tracts of most new vehicles.

No matter what anyone says, that crack in the back is NOT a debit card slide.
