Not that I can tell but then again I drive it every day so I've gotten used to it. They sound great for what I paid for them. Not TOO loud but plenty of noise to keep my satisfied.

I've got a fancy recorder that I used the other day to capture some sound clips from inside the vehicle. They turned out great and sounds very close to what I hear when driving. I'll see about getting them uploaded to youtube or something so you can hear.

Ditto, I want new cans bad, and at that price I can do it sooner rather than later, please let us hear a good clip of in car and out of car... Also I still have not seen where someone actually has put a part number or any info on where to get good tips??

I feel like a chump for telling you guys I would have them uploaded yet I still have nothing to show for. The weather was shit last weekend. Will try and get some this weekend. I have interior recorded but need to get exterior. Just got to find a good place to do it at. I want to get a 0-100mph run in so you can hear 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears thru the entire rev range.

I had the magnaflow part number somewhere. i'll have to do some digging and find it. have no part # for the tips - even the muffler man could not tell me. He told me the name of the distributor but that was it. I've seen them on ebay though so do some digging. I believe they are popular with the Corvette crowd.

Tekmoe ---- Sensing a pattern here... No Pics, no specs, no sound clips, etc. Why post about this if you can't share? Throw us a bone here.

I think you mean C6 tips. C7 isnt out yet. I bought C6 tips for like 40 bucks for when I do my exhaust. They looks nice and are high quality since they are OEM. 3" resonated

Thanks to your post, I got my ass in gear and put some shit together for you guys.

Magnaflow 11366 - http://www.amazon.com/Magnaflow-1136.../dp/B000XQO0WU

Here's the audio from inside the cabin with the top and windows up to reduce wind noise. If you have headphones or a nice stereo with a sub, turn it up - this microphone captures every sound in the car, even the deep tones. I would describe this recording as being very close to accurately representing what it sounds like inside the vehicle in person. Pretty awesome. I probably got up to about 120 after I shifted into 4th.

Make sure you run it in 720p

Nice! Thanks for the update man! Thinking about going this route myself so very curious about the sound.

My car has some rattles but I don't really notice - I either have the top down or the music up.

Yes the exhaust is not obnoxious by any means. I'm pondering removing my resonator to give it just a little more rumble...but it may be too much.

Im just worried mine will have a lot of rattles since I have a coupe. Removing the resonator will probably just make it raspy. I love the way it sounds as is

It does have some rasp right now but not too noticeable from inside the cabin. I'll try to get some exterior recordings this weekend. Weather should be much better than last weekend.
