Default Exhausts on C6's. Please help.

I know there are a lot of C6's in the northern california region, and was wondering if you could help me.

I have an 05 C6, and wanted to know if anyone local had a set of Borla S Type II's, Borla Tourings, or LG GT4's on their C6's.

I need to get a new axleback and would really like to hear it in person, rather than in a video before I pay 1000+ on a set.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Do you remember what they sounded like with just headers? Or did you do cam/headers together? Cam makes the setup sound louder. Any drone or excessive cabin noise?

Are they classics with all the bends or the new S Type II's that has the bigger muffler, similar to the stock setup?

What type of sound are you looking for? The GT4s sound great but they are LOUD.... we have sold quite a few of the B&B PRTs which I like alot also.

Borla. I guess it's down to S Type II's and Tourings.

I had the LG GT4 very briefly when I had my C6Z, I removed them because they droned way to much for my liking. Great sound but loud and droned.

I've got the Borla Touring on mine and I like 'em. I have the full Z06 exhaust and it works well together.

I guess they aren't as quiet as I thought. Seems like GT4's are on the louder side. Thanks.

My stingers sound amazing, just a bit too loud.

I have the S-Type II's on my A6 06 and absolutely love them. I can confirm that there is no drone at all at cruising speed. I'm usually hanging around BMR on Saturday mornings if you ever get the chance to make it out there. Good luck with what you decide.

Awesome. I actually ended up going with the S Type II's. The sound the stingers make is perfect, but the drone is what kills it. So these should be perfect.
