Like the factory exhaust
New Baby is home and safe, LMB blue, Z51 auto, vert, with chrome wheels, loves awesome at night!
anyway, had some concerns regarding the exhaust. ON my 05' I changed to the Mag. flow.
So far I like the sound of the factory exhaust, not sure if I'll change again.....
Mods so on order- Snake Charmer- VaraRam air intake, and red calibers

A little too quiet IMO but I do like the sound of the stock cat back...I would sooner just put the exorbitant amount of money they charge for some of these cat backs towards some Kooks long tube headers and keep the stock mufflers.

I like the stock exhaust sound, and it does seem to get louder with time.

Stock exhaust sounds great, as long as it it fed from LG Long tubes!!
I had LG's installed at 6,000 miles and now have 19,000. The stock exhaust sounds even better as it gets more mileage on it. I like to listen to the louder exhaust on someone else's vette, just not for me. The headers and stock exhaust sound more like the exotic cars and have no drone problems.

I'm wanting the Corsa or GHL A6 system. I'm just afraid of making another wrong choice.

I put 8000 miles on the stock exhaust. I to was concerned about changing and car being too loud inside or resonnance. I finally caved in and ordered Corsa Sports. Installed yesterday and couldn't be happier. Nice rumble at idle and just enough extra noise for my 50 year old ears. Now my car sounds like a Corvette, IMHO.

IMHO, the stock exhaust lacks. My prior car was a Mustang GT and that stock exhaust was nice. I am thinking of changing the exhaust or I may put on some LT's. I like that throaty rumble

I had B&B PRT's on my C5 and LOVED that deep American V8 Muscle sound. I also got a great price on them, $650.
While I am not in love with the sound on my C6, it is more than adaquate and I will have to think twice about spending $1,200 to $1,600 to replace the stock system. Some times, stealth mode is a good thing.

We've got some cars at Tampa Bay Vettes that'll blow your socks off-and not just the exhaust!
Loud enough for this old gal. I was sitting at a stop light and there was a rumble and I kept looking around to see what it was and that's when I realized that it was the car. It is louder than it was when I first got it.
