if you want the best of both worlds without breaking the bank try some cherry bomb turbo mufflers 21/2 in inlet with dual 21/4 in outlets . quiet when cruizing and nice sound when you get on her .

Sound is a personal thing, so you may be better off listening to some other vettes and seeing what they run.

I have the magnaflow 2.5 stainless catback. When everything was stock, it sounded good - lots of WOT, a little drone. Once I did my motor work and headers it's deafening. I'm changing it in the spring to a stock LT4 exhaust.

So it's base is an L98 not an LT1, right?

The reason asked is there is a difference to it's sound.

BTW....Welcome here!

Marv,
My first purchase was Walker Turbo's. Cheap and oh so sweet sounding. But the DROAN at cruise, just awful!

So then I got some DynoMax and the droan is 99% gone.
Idle & Cruising are moderate and WOT is perfectly loud!

My wife will now cruise with me providing I behave myself.

Well......she actually won't because I too often mis-behave.

That's great Marv. I've heard the Borla are good for little (or no) droan.

Lets see some pics of your vette!!!

some of the zr1 guys are adapting the zo6 flapper type of tips on their cars quiet while cruizing and nasty when you on it . the zo6 muffler can be had for 150-200 but then you have to weld them on your mufflers so it could get pricy .

Took a drive down to the local donut shop across town the car sounds liveable from the inside of the cab it mostly a 45 MPH drive where the car had a lot of headach causing type Drone not there anymore I have not had it on the HWY yet.

But at 55 MPH it was a very bad drone before I think if there's going to be any at all it be very little.

Ya Ya I dont want to hear it 55 MPH you have to go that slow every now and then when it the speed limit when a Cop behind you, Stuck behide someone else thats doing 55 or just could be one of those days LOL.

I don't have chambered mufflers but I do have chambers.
Come to think of it, I don't have mufflers either.

I work on a military base everytime I pulled up to the gate to go in with no mufflers thet just looked at me funny.

Like I said I enjoyed the 2 chambered mufflers at idel but just about every thing else it just gave you a headach after 30 minutes or so.

Yea, different systems thought.
I drive 6 1/2 hours straight to Laguna Seca and don't even notice the exhaust at all.

Took the car up on to the Hwy at 55MPH same amount of drone very little as at 45 MPH very nice at 70 legal speed limit you can hear it but not much 70+ it the same as 70 MPH not saying I was speeding that be wrong of me to speed.

Now you can drive the car long distances without going deaf doing so or have your ears ringing after you get out the car for next couple hours any more.

Just to recap these are Not the Borla Stingers Part # 11134 are the slip on type mufflers.
