Gt takeoff vs borla, AT flows, etc..
As far as gains are concerned, the incresed flow would give you about the same results as the borla/AT flowmaster mufflers... and it's a sound preference thing, right? Trying to decide which route I want to take, I think I might just get the takeoff's, as I have a few offers to buy them for much less.

RE: Gt takeoff vs borla, AT flows, etc..
If you haven't yet, go to the Exhaust Sticky at the top of the forum. There is a lot of information there and even sound clips.
My experience... I first went with a GT Take off. I thought it was way too quite. I also didn't notice much in HP gain. (butt dyno)
I thought is sounded like the stock muffler, unless you really got on the accelerator. (Single gt muffler)
So. I went to a local exhaust shop, and had them put on a Flowmaster 40 series. I like it a lot, it is very aggressive. I don’t notice much drone, but it is kind of loud. For the first time, I can 'slightly' spin my tires without power breaking and I can really smoke them if I do power break. (I have an auto) I couldn't even spin them before while power breaking. Big Difference.
I hope this helps.

OMG...
Dont listen to whitev6er. Corvettes dont have Quads. They only have Dual exhaust. Each exhaust tip has two outlets. It is not Quads.

I think this is what we get for being on here so late at night. On a Sunday.
I just hope someone rational sees this tomorrow and has some wisdom, not to say anything about the rest of you guys though... but wow.. I am always willing to listen to someone who has something intelligent to say. Night folks.
