Default Does C7 Z exhaust fit C7

Customer wants NPP and was told that the C7 Z NPP is louder than the C7 NPP. Does it fit the regular C7?

I guess these cars are too new to know the answer, but as long as the bends and diameters are the same I don't see why not.

Hell if I didn't like how loud my car was now, I would do the muffler delete go all the way.

Pretty sure that the exhaust isn't louder so much as the engine is. I don't think a ton of difference exists outside of the engine that they're bolted too. I'm not positive but they do appear to be the same from the outside.

Has anyone tried to look up and cross reference part numbers to see?

Will take a look and see if it is the same part number. Not sure the engine would be louder as the car is not in boost at idle but who knows

I have seen pics of the C7Z exhaust manifolds, to me they look like the C7Z / ZR1 more on the order of the C6Z like not being cast.

Not talking about manifolds. Notice NPP in first post notating cat back exhaust

Z06 does not have AFM valves. You will get a CEL.
