this guy sounds like he's never done a review before.

red_rider · 06-26-2008, 10:17 PM

Damn I want one of these BAD. Maybe I didn't understand the review, but is he saying that the $1200 exhaust option is for the 2 valve actuator crap that's quiet half the time or is it for the extra 6 hp, 4 lb-ft, or both?

I must say I'd be tempted to just buy the base exhaust and swap it right out for some 40 series or super 44's that stay on all the time

$1200 for both - butterfly valves and 6 hp.

For about the same price you can get a Borla exhaust.

^^^ borlas sound like bee cans in my experience. spend the extra couple hundred and get the Cadillac of exhausts: the Corsa.

It's amazing how they ruined a great sounding exhaust clip because they couldn't STFU.

I agree, my bud put a corsa on his CTSV and that is why my standard 3.6 CTS has a V exhaust!

Exactly, this guy sounded like a dipstick, "yuuup", STFU.

I'll take it in Jetsteam blue metallic please.!!

GeorgesBlazah · 06-27-2008, 08:47 AM

If you get NPP performance exhaust, you can plug in a simple actuator ("Mild to Wild") that works with an extra factory garage door opener button (or a remote control button) to leave the flap open all the time and not just at higher engine speeds.

This guy should be a manager at a Subway sandwich shop. How, in the hell, did he get THAT job? It is very evident he does not know crap about cars, and especially Corvettes, so he gets online and "reviews" them. It would be like me doing "reviews" of ladies shoes.

DuSpinnst · 06-27-2008, 01:51 PM

I am always amazed at the retards who review cars professionally.

chevrobill · 06-28-2008, 03:33 PM

Only dorks care about the stupid removable top, and only dumbasses would eat chocolate in a Vette.
I want that guy's job.

I have the Billy boat route 66's with AR headers on my modded C6. Sounds pretty good.
