Corsa Pace Car Pro exhaust, or the new Exteme version.
Either way if you do not like Drone then Corsa is the way to go.

If you can wait till March I might be looking at swapping my Corsa Pace Car Pro Quad Tips exhaust out for the Extreme version
to add a little more rumble.

those look like a good deal...in case that falls thru, and if available, the GHL magnums are great... nice rumble at idle and a loud growl at WOT..
and no drone....

I think it depends how loud you want.
Is seems B&B are considered to have a great sound with some real volume assoicated with it.

The Corsa's sound good too... pace version is louder, touring is toned down...no drone

For me once I added the headers the volume was too much even with the Corsa touring, so I went with ZO6 Ti. exhaust.........

For the $$ the ZO6 Ti. offers good sound, performance, weight, and value.... most are selling in the $350 - $500 range....

Well, everything is relative. An F16 taking off is probably louder...but they are loud! My C5 can be heard a long distance away...my dog knows when I'm coming home long before I pull into the driveway

I am about to take the B&B bullets off my car and swap to a stock Z06 exhaust. I love the sound of my car but at wide open throttle its too loud for the track I do HPDEs at and the regional airport where I do other courses !!!!

I will be looking to sell and because i'm in BC we could avoid the hassle of shipping across the border

Bullets are nice and loud but they drone like crazy....it can be a pain if you cruise at an rpm range between 1500 and 2000. I had them and although I loved the sound there were times when my ears would hurt. If you want best of both world's i.e nice muscle car sound and no drone then I would go with Corsa.

I love my Borla Stingers!

Great sound, no drone, relative inexpensive thanks to Southern car parts and easy to install.
