Default Borla, Bassani, or B&B

I'm stuck between cat-back systems. My Z06 will have the Polluter cam in a few days so it will be plenty loud. I don't want the Titaniums anymore, I just don't like the sound. So help me choose a system. Which will keep it at a descent volume, so it doesn't sound straight piped. I will be buying in 2 days so help me out. I already have LG longtubes and off road x-pipe so there are no cats. These Ti's will be for sale BTW.

I heard the B&B over the weekend on a c5. It sounded good. The B&B will be the most loud. The borla will be the most common way to go. With a cam any of the three will sound great. I would be torn as well. Good luck.

Borla sounds the best.
Corsa are rasppy
BB are pretty dope and muscular but loud unless its the touring version
Borla sounds muscular with a hint of Euro tune to it.

Im sure you can find clips on youtube, cause its all personal taste

I ordered B&B route 66 which is the touring exhaust.. The other style was too loud. Route 66 has the coolest tips ever.. The whole pipe is brushed aluminum. He has an 05 Vette,Black with polished C6 stock wheels..Looks awesome together..And the sound is so perfect for a vette. Classy sounding.. Nice deep smooth tone. Sounds awesome when taking off. No done either. I don't know what a polluter cam will do to it tho..His is stock. I have Borla on my 99TA and I think it is perfect for my car..The right sound. Love it.

I really don't think that the B&B bullets are too loud. I know someone who has them on his 650hp C6 and it's the most beautiful sound in the world. Then again, the fact that I work at a drag strip may have skewed my perception on "loud."

I have the Bassani and I love it. It is not as loud as the Borla Stingers. It has a nice low tone. The thing I like most about the Bassani, is that the tail pipes do not stick out like the BB and Borla. They tuck real nice.
