Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
To me, Corsa has that slightly high-pitched racing-motor sound. I'm not sure if it's what I want on my car, I like the mellower lower notes a little, but listen to some of the clips and videos Jeffvette has. His car sounds like a freaking race motor, it's great sounding.

Gotta check out Jeffvette's vids. I love that higher pitched sounds, rather than the low muscle car sound, after all, I am a big F1 fan as, to, lets say Nascar!! (not that there's anything wrong with that!  )

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
This one makes me drool...Watch for Jeff about 5:40 into the vid. Wails as it accelerates and growls when it decelerates. This car chews with its mouth open and laughs about it.

http://members.aol.com/corvettezr119...eff_Vett_1.mpg That track video mentioned earlier is cool too. It totally sounds like a race car is sharing the track with that C5 (6?). My car is too quiet. I'll be addressing it eventually with some headers. Then I'll have to pick an exhaust. I like Corsa, but I don't know if it's the sound I want. I also think flashy tips don't look right on the 1990. I'd prefer something black, or maybe non-polished stainless. I do wonder if I could have Corsa powdercoat the tips or something. They do that for some of their marine parts, so they have the capability.

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
My 1990 has Flowmasters. They were on the car when I bought it. Just the other day I was cruising on the LV Strip and at a stop light a fella asked what kind of exhaust I had. He said he liked the sound. He had a C4, but not a ZR1.

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
I have Flowmasters on my 84 and I have to say they sound great for the wussy 205hp L98 motor!!! Thank god I put a 373 gear in her so she at least goes better on 0-60 times apx 5 to 5.5 sec now and allows me to waste 5slow blue oval stangs with auto trannies and my brothers now x 94 c4 lt-1 with auto...does great burnouts on the khumos as well!!!

 I had Flowmasters on my '87 L98, along with a front Y that removed the pre-cats. It was pretty loud but sounded great. However I can't get past the chambering in Flowmaster mufflers. I guess Corsas on the Aurora spoiled me, I like that you can see right down the whole thing, yet without a continuously perforated tube or the weight of packing.

Re: Best Sounding Exhaust for the ZR-1
thnx 4 the correction after much research I found in CF a c4 registry and it seems a lot o guys are confused what engine they have...some even think its an lt1! lol the majority say l83 so I think this must be right...check out the link and ull see a lot of guys thought like I that it was a l98 and multi port l98 for 1985 but I guess l83 is the crossfire!!! Heck one guy on p10 thought he had a lt4...lol talk abt ill-informed!!! I still say it is a wussy motor and that is why I did the mods I did till I got smart and just broke down and bought the KOTH... I still drive the 84 though when I wanna just go out and beat on a vette....better the 84 than the ZR-1!!! LOLOL and get this the 84 has only 52k miles vs the zr-1 with 60k miles...hence why I use the 84 as the true "BEATER" lol
