Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1 - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Patton · 09-07-2005

Have any of you heard the power effects system??
It sounds sooooooo sweet, and crap is it mean! If you dont like resonance and cockpit noise than DO NOT get these... I for one love it, Hell my bose could have been broken for a year now and I wouldnt know. My music is live and has 8 intruments. I have heard the B&B as well, they are my second favorite, but Power effects takes it for me just brutally sweet big block sound, even at idle for crist sakes... I wonder what their "Side Effects" system sounds like?

I also have the Power Effect exhaust system. Really love the sound at WOT..They can be toned down but who would want to!! Very quiet at highway speeds and in town they are mellow. My opinion only......

I'd be interested to hear a sound clip of the newer B&B's.

I definitely wish more people were more sound-clipy! I love hearing that stuff. Does anyone here own the Callaway exhaust? It's 2.75" in diameter, and I'm hoping it on the lower end of the resonance spectrum, but that's based only on Callaway's reputation and the cost of it. I'd be interested to know if it suffers a resonance issue, or if it's not really that great at flowing, or whatever. It has piqued my interest the most as it seems a quality name, goes on a quality car, and hopefully is a quality product.

Say what? Mellow?? Well, the zr-1 i heard them on had headers and an x pipe with rt cats... maybe that is why we had to yell at eachother even at a stoplight.

The B&B Bullet system sounds realllly nice on a C5... I would consider them for my Z if they only made a similar sounding system for it! I think the route 66 sounds like sloppy crap...

Not real happy with the Borlas. Once the Jeals come in (3 weeks), I'll install B&Bs.

I installed a borla system on my 305ci 89 IROC, I could actually feel a negative performance effect during low rpms but felt like it revved faster and breathed much better at high rpms. I just wasnt satified so I tried the flowmaster system and wow,... Much, MUCH better performance throught the band, and better sound in my opinion. So yes I agree, borlas dissapointed me on my application too.
