Default Had Granatelli Axle Back Exhaust installed on my 04 ZO6 today...

i know the Titanium Exhaust flows very well and sounds descent in stock trim but i had to have more sound, i found the Granatelli kit on Ebay Brand new for 550 so i tried it out, let me tell u for the price i paid it sounds awesome, im loving it so far, im not sure if my performance increased or not but it sounds nice

Did you guys do any comparison testing vs. similar systems like Borla Stingers, GHL Magnums, or GHL Bullets? If these are quieter than Stingers (less resonance) and closer to the GHL Bullets I might be interested. I was running the B&B Bullets, but am having a blower installed, and my catallytic converters were just destroyed in a tragic, horrible accident, so I'm afraid I might have to switch to a slightly quieter system. How long are the mufflers, 6" or 5" or something else?

Yeah i know it was hard to see the titanium mufflers come off but when i heard this baby fire up i was all smiles, it sounds really deep, i knew i wouldnt gain much if any over the TI exhaust i just need a deeper sound, and thats exactly what i got

Our system is stainless steel and mid-toned. Our website has all the info on it. I've heard it in person on a C5 and while it wasn't knawing at your eardrums, it had a real deep tone to it.

Our exhaust is lighter than a C5 axle-back and there are gains to be made from the mandrel-bent pipes and hi-flow mufflers. The exhaust note is like day and night compared to stock, but was not designed to break windows and blow ear-drums. Oh yea, T-304 stainless steel.

Who did you speak to on this? Please elaborate...did you purchase the C-5 with the kit pre-installed? Send me a PM. Our customer service is always here to answer your questions and help you out.
