The loudest version is to drop the mufflers at the track. A 50lb. weight saving, and the nastiest shriek a stock Corvette can make. (and a 2mph. increase in trap speed.)
Your conversation makes me wonder if 3" mufflers with Helmholtz tuning are available?

Actually, Bob, that is exactly what Marc Haibeck has done since he bought his car in 1993. He welded three bolt flanges just ahead of the mufflers and always removes them for a drag race. Gets a weight saving but also says it is a bit of a pain in the butt to remove them each time. Said once that if he had to do it all over again he would probably do what I did. I really don't know what aftermarket mufflers are out there with Helmholtz resonators today, other than Corsas.--Bob
