KzooVette Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) So I will be picking up my 03 SS in a few days. One of the things I am a little concerned about, though, is the exhaust. I believe it is a Flowmaster 40 series that is already installed. It looks like it is a completely alluminized cat back system (which in Michigan means I will be looking for another system in no time at all - dayum salt trucks!!) I need to quiet the exhaust a bit, though. I carry a lot of business people (and the wife and kids) and they would not be as impressed as I am!! Let me make it clear, though . . . I am no stranger to loud - have LG Long Tubes and Borla Stinger Quads on the the C5 - but I would like to quiet the truck a bit. I have seen several people say a well placed X-pipe will decrease the in cabin resonance. Is it worth it or should I just put on a Corsa Sport (stainless) and sell the flowmasters on Ebay (or here)??

Simon Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm thinking of selling the Flowmaster too! It's getting louder over time... plus it doesn't give any power...I lost 10 mph on the 1/4. I am looking at Corsa now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PladdPezzPunk Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I'de shoot for the corsa. that sounds like a good choice for you. it would never wear out and keeps the truck quiet. It still sounds like a truck when you get on it but to someone who dosn't know any better, they would think it's factory. congrat on you new truck too.

KzooVette Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the input so far! Now it looks like I should start looking for a new, or gently used Corsa Sport. Any ideas on best price vendors? I have not been all that impressed with TByrne in the Corvette community. . . I'm thinking of selling the Flowmaster too! It's getting louder over time... plus it doesn't give any power...I lost 10 mph on the 1/4. I am looking at Corsa now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And as for the 10MPH loss in the quarter, my truck is red - so that shouldn't be a problem!!
