I upgraded from a C5 Corvette convertible to a new C6 convertible, and find the improvements to be mostly positive, but with one major exception.
The exhaust sound of my prior convertible had a wonderful mellow, gutsy sound, very much like what you would expect from a sports car.
The newer C6 is way less audible, and has no rumble or other noticeable sonic qualities. It actually sounds very much like most of the sedans on the road.
I am not looking for a loud, obnoxious, "look at me" type of noise generator, but I really do miss the mellow and full bodied sound quality of the older C5 factory exhaust.
What if any options do I have? Is a 3rd party exhaust / muffler a huge mistake? Is it very pricey? And am I just asking for trouble with emissions, reliability, etc?
I am unlikely to make any drastic or expensive changes, but I am just curious to know what might be possible.
Thanks in advance to any / all responders.
