Default What muffler is on this C5?

I'm digging this sound, but I've no idea how to get this sound

Does anyone know what mufflers are on this vette, or what mufflers would sound EXACTLY the same?

Sounds like Corsa to me, little bit of a high pitch to it. Hard to say w/o seeing the tips, or anything else.

I dunno, but I can ask Jason or Lawton if you really want to know. Just understand a lot of the coolness of the sound is from the G5X4 camshaft, and the car might not be running the mufflers..

Yeah guys, please do!

Thats the sound I'm wanting on my ls1/rx7. I'm hoping to get close, and I figure the mufflers would get me most of it.

heads, headers, cats, and cam affect sound just as much as the mufflers.

While true, a muffler makes a huge difference as well. Perhaps not "what muffler is this" but more or less "what muffler will give me a similiar sound"?

It still sounds like Corsa to me. Corsa tends to give off a high pitch to it in the upper RPMs, and that sounds like every other Corsa system Ive ever heard on a C5 be it H/C or not.

If you want a deep sound try GHL magnums. They're freakin awesome sounding altho pricey.
