Default Who makes the most aggressive exhaust?

I've looked into the SLP Loudmouth and The B&B Bullets. Which of those 2 have a louder tone at idle and acceration? Does anyone know of a louder system than these 2?

You can just weld a couple of racing muffler/resolnators onto the exhaust: the types required on some classes of dirt track racer, etc. Or better yet, install two QTP electric cutouts at the collectors and then run a stock exhaust you can open them partly or fully when you want more noise. Advantage is you can shut them when you want a quite cruise (or when a cop pulls up alongside).

You'll get tired of all the noise of a loud exhaust after a while, by the way. It's fun when you want to play or show off, but it gets tiresome if you drive any distance on the highway or are just driving home after a hard day at work. And loud does not mean powerful, or even more powerful than quiet.

Thanks for the reply, but I've already taken your ideas into consideration, but I jsut want a pre-fabbed system that is simple. No welding. Just bolt-on.

I have already dumped my stock ehaust and put turn downs on... I love the sound and i drive over 400 miles every week.

I have a LM I on my Z/28 and love it. It helps with a manual cause you can shift rpms if you get tired of the drone.

You can get a Borla with templates (various size holes) to allow different amounts of exhaust to flow around the mufflers - use the biggest one or just leave out the template and you essentially have a straight through exhaust - frankly rather cheap sounding, but loud.

I've got the SLP loudmouth catback on mine. Absolutely love the sound. Does get annoying sometimes on long interstate drives, but if you stay at a decent speed in 6th (assuming yours is a manual) (60-80 mph) It's not that bad.

I just read about a new version of Billy Boat exhaust for C5's. They operate just like the C6 Z-06 exhaust system. They open for straight thru exhausts under full acceleration and quieter sound when driving normal. Also, the full open exhausts option can be manually operated too,
