I have the stock exhaust system on my 1996 LT1 coupe. It is just a little too "civilized" for me. I think my 'Vette should sound like a sports car, not like my minivan. I am looking for a slightly more aggressive sound, but nothing obnoxious. Muffler eliminators are too loud for me. I have done some research into the mufflers/catback systems available, and have almost ruled out the Borla/B&B/Corsa stainless catback systems. The B&B seems too loud, the Corsa seems too quiet, and all three seem too expensive. I have tentatively narrowed my choices to the Flowmaster #17217 catback system or the Magnaflow #15623 stainless mufflers. I am leaning toward the Flowmaster setup. I am mostly concerned with adding a deeper, more aggressive tone, and any increase in power would be nice (but not my real goal). Is anyone running the Flowmaster setup? How much of an increase in idle/acceleration sound can I expect? How has the system held up (rusting?). Is anyone aware of any sound clips of an LT1 C-4 with the Flowmaster system? Has anyone installed the Magnaflow #15623 stainless mufflers? Any opinions? I am relatively new to this great site, and any help would be appreciated!
