Default New vette exhaust question

I finally got my first C6 today after an 00 and an 03.. . 07 6sp Z-51 3LT Vel Yellow. I am in love with it except of course for the ridiculously quiet exhaust. I would love imput on aftermarket Borla or Corsa? Sport or Touring ? I want to be heard, but not annoy the neighbors and wife everytime I drive by or pull onto the garage. Anybody got an opinion?

Wow ryan, I'm surprised i'm the first to reply. I agree with you on the quiet exhaust. I too have a velocity yellow and LOVE IT. I did extensive research, listened to u-tube sound clips. Heard hundreds of opinions on other forums. I wanted the loudest I could get. It's already loud with the top off, the when the stereo going, so basically if people want to whisper to their wife or girlfriend and expect them to answer then you bought the wrong vehicle. I bought some flowmasters with single tips (look awesome) personally I've never liked the quad look, and the sounded great with a low tone and some rumble. Also alot of other people bought other exhaust and they were too loud so they when with the flows. Anyway, I however don't like my flows because they weren't loud enough so I went with what everyone was saying was the loudest and some people actually bought them and their significant other made them buy other mufflers because they were too loud. This told me that the B&B bullets were the way to go. I absolutely love them....they are loud as hell! Also, their is alot of talk about the drone of the flows, I have an automatic and I never had that problem. easy install.
I am selling my flows for $300 plus shipping. Here is a link to what they look like: http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...7b9fadcc10af50
here is a link to what they sound like:

If you want to spend more money Corsa you're looking at around $1400 Borla you're looking at around $1270. I've heard more people pleased with the Corsa. But the flows are by far the best bang for the buck. Hope this helps as I know how frustrasting it is. I had to go the hard route and now I have 2 extra sets of mufflers!
