Now I am all in on maximum noise.
I want my zr1 experience to be wild and out there. I want the look, the performance and the sound. Most guys say.. what is so special about that lt5 motor?? I want them to hear me coming. When I punch it I want them to hear ther revs in full blast mode. Like I have said before, I dont spend alot of time driving around my zr1. When I choose to drive it I want it to fill my senses so it will last me till next time. I really like to drive alone just so I can take it all in and enjoy my drive. this is a very selfish hobby on my part but I dont care. I worked for it and now I want to enjoy it. My wife understands. The first two did not and that is why they are ex's. I thought about the electric cutouts and I decided I just dont want more electronics on my car. It has enough. I will install an x pipe and remove my resonators and hope it has the raucous sound I want.

Hey Ed,
Does your car have headers? Before I went to the Corsa system, I had straight pipes...the stock '90 manifolds with cats ran into the stock ZR-1 exhaust pipes, with the resonator replaced by an H-pipe and the mufflers replaced by LT1-tip muffler eliminators. The only "mufflers" were the stock cats. I LOVED, absolutely LOVED the sound the car made and I highly recommend it. It sounds like it may be the sort of sound you want. The only reason I changed to my current setup is because I wanted headers and I knew when I did that, I'd have no "mufflers" at all and I'd be pissing off the neighbors and getting tickets. That's why I got the Corsa when I did headers. If you have stock manifolds and want AWESOME, cheap sound and don't care about drone, I highly recommend straight pipes. Jon Porter (Rex Ruby) will tell you the same thing.
Good luck!
