I've got a 2006 Victory Red, 6 speed Roadster and am looking to put on an aftermarket exhaust and am looking for suggestions. I'd like to have a louder sound but don't want to have too much drone at hwy speeds. I'm used to running my big block Chevelle convertible with headers and 2 1/2 flowmasters without any problem but the exhaust tips are farther from the cab.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!!

Most of the aftermarket exhausts drone at some speed. If want your cake and eat it too I suggest you look at putting on the '08 Dual Mode exhaust (NPP) with one of the special controller set ups from Nakidparts.com or SunsetOrangeCreations.com. I think both of them call their set up "NPP In A Box". With the NPP set up you can have a great quiet sound or a nice loud sound. Good luck and don't forget to post a couple pictures of your car in the C6 General section when you start posting there.

Rick is right, the NPP ina a box is a great set-up. But in case you simply want a great exhaust that doesn't drone at any speed, look into the Corsa Pace Car system. I wouldn't have any other exhaust.

And by the way, Welcome to the forum
