Question What Catback With Quad Exhaust For ZL1?

I have quad exhaust on my SS with headers but it's a muffler delete and I'm looking for something a little more quiet that's 3inch. There doesn't seem to be too many options for the ZL1. I know of the SW Retro, Maganaflow, Borla Atak, Corsa, Holley and the Flowmaster American Thunder. Also anything with an H-pipe?

What do u mean exactly? It's just the stock LS3 catback with no mufflers and quad tips welded on.

Why? Does he want his car quieter? Because the Corsa is more raspy than other catbacks. Plus it's very expensive I won't be getting it. It's good quality though.

I love my Retro, but I don't think it's any quieter than straight pipes, just a slightly different tone. Only other system I've seen in person is Corsa and that's a very acquired taste, I'm not a fan.

I agree, the retro is loud but has a deep tone to it. The corsa's quality is very nice ( I've only seen one with the quad black tips) the sound is loud and in my opinion a cross between a truck and pissed off Honda. I was going to purchase the system based off of the looks and quality but after hearing it I was completely turned off on the idea of buying one. Some love it...I do not at all. BTW both were on a ls3's with headers/high flows, not sure if a L99 would change the sound at all or not or if in the OP's case it matters????

That's a bit subjective I think. I don't find it obnoxious at all, but most of my friends (not car people) think it's stupid loud. Granted, no cats too.

There's a stretch of road about 1/2 - 3/4 mile from my house that I often open it up on and I'm always told that they can hear me loud and clear from the house. So I guess it's probably pretty obnoxious for the majority of people lol.
