Default Muffler Suggestions for C5 Z06?

Hey guys!

I want to get a bit more sound of my exhaust....what do you guys recommend?

I don't want to get rid of the awesome titanium exhaust, but I am curious what others might have done to maximize sound, and minimize titanium sacrificed?

Thanks!

Google "Ti bypass mod" click on the first thing that shows up...looks like there's a guy in your area that does the work. You keep your stock Ti exhaust, but get more sound at WOT.

I just took the tailpipe curve section off mine...Runs ALOT stronger up top and is quite a bit quieter at idle.

Long tubes with high flow cats will make the stock exhaust noticably louder.

the TIs sound absolutely great with either no cats, the bypass mod, or longtubes. i have the Corsa Indy setup and like it also. my favorites are the Stainless Works with full exhaust and turbo mufflers.

We have seen many Corvettes with electronic cutouts. You could always have the best of both worlds....QTPs are great!

I did the bypass mod with longtubes and high flow cats. I sound awesome at wot but doesnt drone like other aftermarket exhausts while cruising at highway speeds.
