I have a stock C5 and I had this done today, well let's just say it's no much louder but it has more of a extioc sound. Maybe because I still have all my stock exhaust. No other mods to my exhaust yet. I think want I do my headers and off road x it will be louder. You think?

could you tell any difference in performance? is there any way you can put up a sound clip of it? i listened to the one on speed kilz and it is hard to get an idea of what it sounds like when you are listening to a cammed up machine.

Thats basicaly the SLP loudmouth. I had one on my Camaro, and you could take the loudmouth off and it did not change the sound very much, it just gets the exhaust out from under the car.
