If they utilize a little butterfly valve as with the Corvette, it could sound like that. Quiet at idle and low RPM, but stomp on it and it opens up giving the true sound.

And you can bypass it as well.
except the new Z06 manages to sound like crap even with the butterfly open.... in truth, the Z needs some Borla Stingers' to begin sounding good again.... new and old.

the F bodies always sounded better then the Z.... will the concept sound like the production car? not likely; but it will be able to with some cat- deleates

I've seen/been with about 10 Z06's (C6) and seen open throttle conditions significantly..... it still doesn't sound even as good as C5 Z06.

then again, i am old school, and prefer resonanced tuned aftermarket pipes and lope

yeah, with the butterfly open, it is better.....

Very few street cars sound very good when you rev the engine up near red-line with no load on it. Sounds like it has glass-packs
