Oppo, my Corvette is very loud now

I can’t tell if it sounds good, or just loud.

Ad I hit 11k miles I’ve put on this thing:

Lastly, have any C5 oppos had their windshields replaced? Mine is cracked and I need to get it fixed after having it broken all last year

Nice - what exhaust did you put on it?

Nice one! Looks like a z06 or is it the rfc?

another FRC Z06 on here? Someone else just got a yellow one :p

Do they still make the Borla exhaust for those cars? I’m hoping someone on here with a C5 does the export tail light mod

Not a z06, just a '99 frc

Export tails are on my list, I love them but I can’t decide between the clears and the amber lenses

Frc, z06 has a z06 e mblem on the gauges iirc

Lol. And when I typed in FRC some how I put the letters in the wrong order. Glad you knew what I meant. All years of C5 z06 come with the emblem on the gauges? I’m not versed in ‘Vette.

That and the brake duct in front of the rear wheel is the big giveaway.

Can we hear it?! Or is it not mic-friendly?

cool

The official European C5 is amber on the outside, clear on the inside, but it doesn’t have the backup lights by the plate like the US model.

What you could do is make those inside lights the rear fog (if you can find red bulbs), and keep the US backup lights by the plate. The example below, most likely kept the US plate-mounted backup lights and put the rear fog in the inside tails.

One should not un-Americanize the Heartbeat of America. Plus it looks bad.

Lulz. My LS1 RX7 would like to have a talk and show you what loud really is.

One dual in dual out muffler and side exits. And longtube headers

A muffler? What’s that?

Probably sounds crazy with longtubes lo l. This setup is just manifolds-cats-pipe

Idk how I'd upload an audio file to here, but it would probably murder the mic on my GoPro, I'll have to use a dedicated mic

Ahhhh. The FRC is more ‘rare’ also correct? Produced in lower numbers than the z06?

yea so probably about equal noise. The muffler is more just as a crossover between them haha. Doesnt help that i havent sealed up the trans tunnel yet where it was cut to fit the T56

Idk, I've heard longtubes make this setup unbearable, so with a less restrictive muffler it might be louder than my stock manifolds

I believe so

Yea that might be true. I still need to get it street legal but i ripped it around the neighborhood today with a friend showing him it and the noise is amazing
