Default Looking for a muffler that sounds like the stock Z06 Ti exhaust

I love the way my old Z06 sounded with headers (LG Pros, no cats) and the stock Ti catback. It was quiet around town and had a great sound when I got on it. I'm looking for something similar to install in my FD as I want a bit of stealth with the car (as opposed to the race Magnaflows on the FC currently).

What have you heard that sounds similar?

TIA

I was driving behind the old Z06 today (my dad now owns it) and it sounded freakin' amazing when he got on it to merge into traffic.

BUMP

What is stoping you from getting that exhaust now? You obviously have good mechanical skills to get that REX LS1'd! Buy a used one and chop/cut/weld

Don't think it'll work. Already thought about that.

It has to be one of those mufflers that makes it sound that way. Can you run a single from the y back into one of those mufflers? I would think that cats + spiral bullet might give you something close. You know, like a restrictive bullet, not a glasspack traditional style.

You would just have 2 coming out. Just like the Z06 does.

I would think running only one of those mufflers would be a major flow restriction though especially on a H/C motor. Additionally I just don't know where I could put one of those mufflers under the car. It is already REALLY low.

This is for the FD, BTW. I don't mind the FC being not-so-stealthy with the true duals into the "race" magnaflows.

If I recall correctly, they are not small mufflers.
