    Looking for a GenV exhaust take off (R+D)

    Just purchased my first viper, absolutely love it. Came from a heads/cam/intake C6 Z06, at first when I saw the car in a local dealer lot I was blown away with the finish on paint/interior and the overall presence; it had made me smile ear to ear the second I saw it. But.... I test drove one for about 2 miles and walked away really bummed, had the classic review you read from a crappy car magazine...Cramped cabin, poor visibility, exhaust drone, weird pedals. But I came on here and read some commentary from real owners and could tell that the amount of people in love with their cars meant that there was something special here.

    Worked on negotiating a deal almost 5 hours driving distance on a 2013 yellow GTS with 375 miles on it, and got the paperwork to take the plunge blindly. I actually "conditioned" myself for the tighter cabin by using the visor straight down in my car for like a month while I was still negotiating this deal. My girlfriend broke my balls roundly about that, hahah. I would slap her hand jokingly if she flipped the visor up and yell 'CONDITIONING!!!" hahah.

    Anyway love everything about the car except one thing....the "drone", "tone" whatever you wanna call it at 1800 to 2300 rpms. I love driving my cars, long trips are great in a rocket (anyone that says this car isn't a daily is a bonehead). I've already put 3k miles on it in a little over a month. But I want to take a stock exhaust and do some work on it to cancel the frequency around those rpms (likely centererd around 2k).

    So if anyone has one that they are considering throwing in the trash, or would sell it for a reasonable price I would love to scoop it up. Looking to do something like a Helmholtz resonator or a 1/4 wave side branch resonator on it just to knock out that frequency, seems to be between 165hz and 180hz on my car. I purchased the car guessing I would want to do this haha, and from my research the corsa on this generation just doesn't do the job well enough to consider it on par with their "sound cancellation technology".

    Thanks, and let me know!!
