Default Re: Exhaust sound

The blue car will have the same setup Bob. Looking forward too that.
The white car had the same setup but with the big flowmaster mufflers , again too noisey. I want quiet , untill the right time. Then let her rip.

I see I'll have to loose the spare........maybe use QTP's oval units.

Hi Frank--I will be working with Marc later this summer on getting the cutouts into the position that Tony D has his manual ones. I would like to remount the spare carrier and I think it can be done, at least based on my preliminary research. If we can get it done I am sure Marc will let his customers know. I looked at the low profile units from QTP for positioning along the pipes just before they bend around the spare but I would rather re use my round ones and put them farther back. We'll see. Also I saw your car at Marc's when we were there--looked good. --Bob

I am curious as to the sounds of Borla, Corsa, Magnaflow, and B&B. I heard the B&B was loud and at cruise has a resonance that can get annoying. The car I am looking at has B&B cat back and in case I did not like it I would like to hear the others on a ZR1. I like a nice deep growl but don't want my ears to be ringing after driving it on the highway for extended periods of time. Does anyone have sound clips of their exhaust?

Another system you may want to consider is what I have on mine. I just completely opened mine up; stock resonator replaced with an h-pipe and stock mufflers replaced with Corvette Central LT-tipped muffler eliminators...the only "mufflers" are the cats. The sound is unbelievable. I just giggle like a frigging idiot when I get on it. Surprisingly, there is almost no resonance on the highway. I planned on this being temporary but now I want to keep it. HIGHLY recommended, unless maybe your car is a daily driver? I will try to get a sound clip of it up.

Don't want to put any more money into it? A ZR-1? I wish you luck, my friend.

Well, not for a while, it just had $20,000 worth of work, paint, and restoration so I'm hoping I won't need to put anymore in for a while. From what I was told it should be like new, and I have 2 great guys from the forum coming to check it out with me!
