That's why I tried this one too. I'm sorry the cost of a Kooks axleback isn't up to the level you think one should spend on a ZL1 axleback, but that was just icing on the cake for me. I can buy whatever exhaust is out there, but I'm not buying a Corsa or Borla when they both retain that raspy, boat motor sound of the stock exhaust. Drone tolerance and perception is up to the individual, so I can't tell someone else what they can or can't tolerate. What I can say is that drone is blown out of proportion by a lot of guys on this forum and the Vette forums. That's why you guys never get a different sound. If you truly want a louder different sound, more drone will be there. There's no way around it.

All I'm saying is that you get what you pay for. It's pretty obvious why it's louder and why it drones. I like having barely street-legal sound without my brain vibrating in my head when I cruise around at 60.
