I don't know if any of you have heard of them, but I just had a system installed on my '06 C6/A6 by a company in Orange County,CA... Arlasky Performance, makers of Zoomers exhaust. I know of them through the 300 and Charger forums. I have their exhaust system on my 300C for almost a year now, then at Christmas had them put a system on my husband's Sierra P/U. They heard that hubby bought me a C6 for Christmas and the rest is history - they used my car as their test mule to design a system for the C6. I asked for an X-pipe and they were able to incorporate that; the system is incredible in looks, sound and performance! Throughout the process they took plenty of photos, did both before and after dyno's and they did an audio/video as well... check it out. I never modded my C4 or C5, now I'm wondering why I didn't... this is absolutely what a Corvette should sound like! BTW, when the 'after' dyno was being done there was a Z06 in the shop; the owner was all smiles and told the guys he thought my car sounded better than his!

Nothing wrong with Ferrari! I think an appreciation for sound is a lot like color on a computer... the translation will be only as good as your equipment allows it to be. I have a THX certified sound system on my 'puter AND I have the car... no "rumble pop" sound from the audio/video on my end, and I assure you not from the car! I love the sound; a very sophisticated exhaust note, and best of all, no drone... and with some awesome dyno numbers to back it up.

Check out the "Technology Page" on the their web site: www.zoomersexhaust.com/zoomers_technology.htm - Zoomers has patented technology on their muffler and tip design. I think they are much more than your standard glass packs from 30 years ago. Their claim is to reduce unwanted back pressure while the tip design assists in getting the exhaust out more quickly. A very innovative design...

It's nice to see something new on the market, choice is good!

 

hi im not knocking your exhaust system.i have bean building cars for a long time,[drag cars.] and i dont care what kind of glass pack muffler you buy they all have a back pressure rumble pop sound when you let of the gas pedal,any way they look great under the car,and if you like them that is all that matters.and i do love your car.dont be upset i just gave you my oppinion.ther will be more.have a great day and thanks again for the data.

No, no... not upset at all and I didn't take it as a knock, just responding to some of the points you made. Rather than speak in a general way, I am only relating my experience with my car and I don't have anything that resembles a "rumble pop" on deceleration. Anytime something new comes out it will stir up discussion or debate and I understand that. I also appreciate that you took the time to read my post and share your comments with me.

BTW, nice color on your 'vette!!

 

thanks for the complinent, im sure you will be getting a lot more opinions, well enjoy that beautiful yellow C-6,

 

sounds too loud for me, but it looks pretty.

 

I'm still trying to figure out how something "Looks" loud...
That is unless it's wearing plaid pants with a striped shirt! [sm=dontgetit.gif][sm=smiley2.gif]

 

Hi, I'm Ron with Zoomers Exhaust we're a new vendor here... I know this system can't be louder than your 600hp ZO6... That sounds like one Bad A$$ car. Anyway this new system for the C6 vette is not loud and best of all there is none of the annoying drone or cabin resonance that most aftermarket systems suffer from, or at least their customers suffer from...

I'd like to thank Shoeless for letting us rip apart her new car to build our exhaust system... We are very pleased with the final results.

 

Welcome Ron!!
You can't possibly be any happier than I am... now if it would just stop raining so I can take her out and listen to her purr some more [sm=thanx.gif]
