It's a crap shoot if don't ride in a vette with the exact exhaust you are considering. I made changes to my last vette's exhaust that caused droning at 70-75 that not only made conversation difficult, it loosened mollars. If I had had to drive it on freeways to work daily, I'd have made another costly change. Sounded fantastic at idle and around town though.I saw somewhere that the dual mode will be a $1200 add on. A little pricey, when you consider you can throw a Corsa or Borla on for that price.
Something to thing about, I purchased 2005 6 speed manual Vette that had a Borla Exhaust Sysrem on it. The sound was so loud and certain RPM's I could not here the radio. If you gave it half a peddle of gas and released the peddle it would sound like it was back firing. I don't know if all Borla exhausts are like that, but I ended up selling it on ebay and put the stock exhaust back on. If you like that sound great. I could not feel any gain in performance or in fuel economy as Borla states.Are there any changes to the exhaust tone at idle and acceleration to 3500rpm with the new dual mode, or is the only change after 3500. With my 08 order, I will be looking for a more aggressive idle tone and low end rpm growl. Will any of this be achieved with the dual mode, or am I better off doing a cat-back aftermarket such as Corsa or Borla?
My point exactly. Sound bytes on the internet or hearing an aftermarket brand cruise by in a parking lot is just not enough to base a $1000 - $2000 decision on, IMO.Something to thing about, I purchased 2005 6 speed manual Vette that had a Borla Exhaust Sysrem on it.
