Tank you RJ,
and all the rest of you here for Information on your exhuast systems.
I just ot back to San Diego, been working in Ariz,(Phx) Have seen a couple of nice Vettes out there. Drove up next to a nice C5. In my rental Dodge Ram pickup, Thanks to Enterpise rent a truck, LOL. He had a sweet sounding Exhuast system on it. It sounded so good at Idle then he turn and got on it to get on the freeway, Sounded like the Borla, I loved hearing that deep sound. Does anybody know of a good shop for me to get my Borla stinger system installed. Here In San Diego, Calif.... Thinking of cat back with X-pipe.
Thanks again everybody D327

This shop installed a nice system in my old 68. They came highly recommended to me:

I must also say that installing a cat-back system is very easy, so I would venture to say that any local shop can do it. Just make sure they lift your car without damaging underneath the side panels. A unch of Corvette owners and I installed my Borlas. The hardest part was getting the rear of my car up 40 inches high. We did have to swing the rear sway bar out of the way in order to get the right side exhaust pipe out in one piece. Some people cut this pipe before removing it, but I wanted it out in one piece.

I have also heard people Rave about the Corsa exhaust. Any one here of it, and wondering how it sounds compared to the Borlas, or magnaflows. I've heard the sound bites on their websites, but would like to hear from who has it first hand.

I have heard most types of cat-backs at dyno day events and although Corsa is famous for having zero resonance, their idle sound resembles a motor boat - not very muscle car-like. From what I gather in polls and many, many opinions, the Borla Stingers have been the best-selling cat backs for the last few years. In fact, some Corvette parts vendors have tried to steer customers towards other in-stock cat-backs, but almost always decided to carry the Borlas - they are big sellers for one good reason - sound.
And yes, I have heard Bassanis - decent sound and a good Italian name!

I went by the local muffler shop before work today. The owner has the Corsa installed on his 2000 silverado, He was in there "raving" about it, said it would sound "awesome" on a Vette. After hearing it, i agree with you, sounded rather "PUNI" ( is that a word), at idle. I didn't like it at all. That didn't sell me on it, so I think I'll look more into the Borlas.
I'm a little worried about resonance though at cruising speed with mine being a 'Vertible.
