New to the Forum
Just joined the forum and would like to say hello to alll of you. I have
a C-5 coupe with Targa top, black. Right now I'm trying to upgrade
the exhaust but don't want it too loud and not much drone at 70.
I did read the thread already posted and am more confused than before.
Any help would be appreciated. If there is anyone in Jax I would like
to meet and hear them.

Jim.
My 2002 had Corsa Touring exhaust. They had a very nice rumble at idle and great take-off. Not loud at 70.
Now I am looking for something a little tamer for my 2006.
Good luck in your search.
By the way, I like my eggs over-easy.

Exhaust huh, well that will be a hard one. Come to Joe's party and you should be able to hear a good assortment and you'll enjoy the drive.

Yeah, the best way to get the exhaust you want is to actually drive someone else's car that has the exhaust installed. No other way to really tell. Audio clips really don't tell the entire story at all. The problem is that most people want an exhaust that sounds ballsy on the outside, but pretty much nonexistent on the inside. Kind of a tough set of requirements to meet, as in many instances they are mutually exclusive. So you wind up having to make some sort of compromise towards one or the other.
Good luck!
And welcome to the site!

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your exhaust project. It's a lot of money to spend and then decide you don't like the looks or the sound and have to start all over again. Listen for someone who has the sound you like  , then use all that HP  to catch up with him and ask what kind it is !
