I sold my nasty loud agressive LS1 RX7 (Trex cam, LT's, dual 3" exhaust/no cats with dual 40series flowmasters LOUD) for a Stock C5 Vette a few months ago. I have been in the middle of figuring out what I want to do with the new car. The day I got it, I told myself I wouldn't go all out and crazy with it, I wanted it to be more civil, and easier to deal with. After going to a few car shows and seeing guys with their stock C5's & aftermarket exhausts or the occasional low psi blower...I decided mine needs to stand out. I dont want mine to just blend in with the next Vette owner who's car is "louder" due to an exhaust, or has a blower "whine" when they punch it at a tiny 5psi.
My Vette will now be exactly what the RX7 was, no cats, least restrictive exhaust possible, nasty sounding cam that makes power up top etc...etc...
I've had it blend in for a few months and I'm already tired of it. Time to make it fast and SOUND the part
See idle videos at this link for my old car...I want the Vette to do the same thing
These were pre-tune so they were pretty rough Trex idles

Doing that to a vette is like miss world chewing tobaco and spitting on your shoes.

Funny, to each his own I guess. I cant wait to have a sick camming C5. I should have said I wasn't specifically going to get the Trex, but still something pretty large. I dont want to rev this car to 7000 all the time.

If the car is all raced out and you're not going for the clean look ect.. Loud and mean sounding is the way to go imo. If the car is very clean, like it doesnt have skinnies/fattys on it.. I dont think there's anything better then seeing a quiet stealthy car haul *** !!
its gotta be like a ninja who's going to jump threw your window, kill your mom, make a sandwich, burn down your house and you never know it happened....thats how your cars gotta be....silent killer
Just my 2 cents, quiet and stealth. I am making 442/439 and the TSP Torquer 2 cam sounds almost stock in the 408. Spanked a Whipple Cobra the other night and his buddy's 90LX with a 351 and 150 shot. They spent the rest of the night accusing me of running spray. Of course, they couldn't find any
