just heard a newer vette rip through town... my gosh the thing was freaking LOUUDD. He was going in the opposite direction so I couldn't get a good look at his exhaust, but man. L o u d

Reason why we need to do muffler delete on Ken's Vette next year

 

[KennyGS]

Driving 2000 miles in that would eliminate any residual hearing I have left.

 

[07TLX]

Just take them off at Fontana

I think the intake / LT / tune idea that Ken had is a much better idea like hacking off the mufflers. I mean what idiot would just remove the mufflers from his car??

It would be funny to have those on when the cop pulls you over for loud exhaust.

"I'm sorry occifer, what did you say? I think these ear muffs are preventing me from hearing your stupid excuse to pull me over."

Nope. '07 like mine.

Difference between '06 & '07 is the headlights and taillights. '07 are chrome & '06 are grey (the housing inside).

Same year as our Si was

Ken.. get an exhaust with valve control so you can open/close whenever you feel your age, or 18

 

[death_roll]

I wish I had that, I'm thinking about going back to stock exhaust soon, I get tired of noise pretty fast

 

[KennyGS]

I'm thinking of getting long tube headers, CAI, and a tune. The shop, who would do the work, says there will be a slight increase in the exhaust level. More importantly, they also say I would see a 50 HP increase.

I see many guys who install louder mufflers in addition to this, and soon discover how annoying it is to drive that way.

There is also a stock system (from GM) that uses active valves that open above 3000 rpm. Many guys then buy a switch to manually control it. I've looked into this, and the cost would be substantially more than getting the LTH, CAI & tune.
