I currently have the mild to wild switch, It sounds good, but what I would really like is something that could be much louder when the valves are open and just as quiet when they are closed. ie; Billy Boat Fusion... but I heard they are quieter than Corsa... which I do like, but again, than I lose the whole mild to wild gadgetry which I do love.
So I guess I'm asking if anyone knows of a way to incorporate the stock exhaust and make it louder at full (or open) throttle mode?... If not what do you like and why?

Go to YOU TUBE and type in 2006 Z06 Exhaust. You'll hear and see plenty of C6 Z06's there. That's your best bet.
Does anyone have the BB Fusions with an X-pipe, and LT headers anywhere near Palm Beach in FL? I would love to hear the setup before shelling out $4k for the setup.
Here's a link to a post where a guy cuts open the Z06 muffler, removes the glass packing and with clamps turns the loud path into a straight pipe, no muffler effect. He says it makes the quiet side about 10% louder and the loud path about 50% louder.
Just purchase two electric cutouts and you will make the maximum noise with the flip of a switch and spend the least money to get there. I bought a pair for $360 with a 4 year warranty. A good welding shop will probably charge you $30-$40 to weld them on.

Awesome! Where do I get them? Any recommendations?
The muffler mod will cost about $30 in parts and probably $50 in labor. Cheaper than the cutouts and the exhaust goes to the rear of the car, not under it. Have you looked at the flat bottoms of our cars? Is there a good place to mount those cutouts?
I will have to update you guys later but i am running a billy boat bullet exhaust and as of now i have just installed the kooks long tube headers with the catless Xpipe but i am waiting for the cam to show up to see how it sounds. but i will update as soon as it arives

Could you please list the parts I would need to buy? What type of shop would cut open the muffler? any speed shop? I don't think Midas will do in lol
