oh my god the handling is so awesome, it came already lowered, has 18's all around, long tube headers, the euroo taillights, and a short throw. it still has the stock catback, and and cai, so I guess those will be my next mods.
I wanna keep the cats on the car this time to keep the drone out of the car, but I still want my vette to roar. any suggestions on a catback?

If you don't like drone DO NOT get Borla Stingers...I have them and love the way they sound at WOT, but the drone on the highway is very annoying.

Buy a used Z06 titanium cat back exhaust that someone took off to make their car louder. They flow as well as most aftermarket systems and are lighter.

Corsa is nice and quiet at idle but roars when you get on it. :)

congrats! I just bought mine recently as well and have already installed a heads and cam along with LT's.

My Magnaflow catback is great and sounds quiet at idle and around town but at WOT it rips! It does drone at 65-70 MPH. The moment you get over 70 though it is super quiet again. This is without cats of coarse.

I think the Billy Boat exhausts are the loudest....don't know a thing about their drone though. I have Ti for the weight savings, and I couldn't tell if they were louder than stock, but I imagine with your long tubes, you'll be able to notice a difference more easily.

thanks for the info everybody, I kinda thought I still had the stock cat back cause it was so quiet and that the chrome tips were welded or somethin, but from lookin at it closer it looks like the b&b route 66 catback. that thing sounds stock!!
