This question may have been addressed before, but what aftermarket exhaust is everyone running and whether or not you are pleased with it. I have the LT-1 engine and looking for a nice, deep, throaty exhaust that has little or no inside resonance. Some sound clips would be nice as well. Please give all andany input possible. Thanks a bunch![8D]

 

I just had a shop put on some Magnaflows. I paid $300 and they welded on my old tips. I sounds better than stock. I am going to add a x pipe and remove the resonator next.

 

flowmaster (40 series), borla, and B&B are going to have that deep throaty soud. all of the others is more of a "sporty" sound. As far as resonance in the interior, I'm not sure you can totally eliminate it....its just the by product of having a loud exhaust. Dynomat in the rear hatch area will help. I know others have had success in keeping the resonance out of the cruising RPM range.

 

I have a '96 with a cat back set up by Borla.Talk about a nice deep rumble!!Not loud at all,but it sounds great.It's pricey($1000),but to me,it's worth it.I heard Magnaflow and Corsa systems are good too.Also a cat back from a company called Bassani is getting some attention.

I like the sound of borla but I have flowmaster 40 series before I knew about them. So now my flows are sitting on the garage floor. I converted it to true dual, gutted cats, no reasonator, and muffler eliminators which is straight tip from the pipe to the end of the car....I like it. It sounds like a race car and thats what I prefer. More bark, than bite but nobody knows that.

 

I ordered a Corsa system and it is sitting in my garage until next Wednesday when a local Corvette shop is going to install it. The fit and finish on the Corsa is first rate. I have heard that the exhaust note is great with very little interior resonance. After it is installed I will give you an update. Although quite expensive ($1000USD), it will be the last exhaust you buy if you own your car for a long time. I originally ordered the Billy Boat exhaust, but it was backordered, and I wanted to get an exhaust system installed before I go on a business trip in early December.

The exhaust system looks fairly easy to install, if you can get the car up off the ground far enough! My driveway has a pretty good incline, so it would be difficult to get it level and stable. I typically hate to let anyone work on my vehicles, but in this case I really need a lift for the exhaust.

so would you condider selling them??

 

I had Borla Stinger catback on my 86, had to take them off. 60 mph and you couldn't hear the radio with the windows rolled up. Put 3 chambered Flowmasters on and they are not much better as well as being a little to big, so they look funny. GGRRRR! [:@]

 

Hello All,
Had the Corsa exhaust system installed today. I indicated to the mechanic dude that the installation should be fairly easy, but he was skeptical. When I went to pick up the car he said he was amazed that it was truly bolt-on! So just FYI - Corsa did there homework on this one!

The sound at idle is slightly louder than stock - a nice deep burbling rumble. It was raining tonight (and I was in rush hour traffic) and did not have the oppurtunity to drive faster than 45MPH, but the interior resonance is very low cruising around. Remember, I have a convertible, so a hard top would be less so. The sound is identical to the OEM exhaust (which I liked), but just slightly louder. Overall, I am quite happy with the exhaust and sound. When I have the oppurtunity to get out on I-4 (probably tomorrow) I will post the results at highway speeds.
