Default What Exhaust you high HP guys running?

Hey Everyone,

So just curious what kind of exhaust you high HP Zo6 guys are running or if you are running straight pipes?

My car is making a little over 800 now on pump gas and doing a few more upgrades and possibly going E85 which will put it into the 900's. My car has long tube header and x-pipe with no cats and the rear mufflers are stock but have the Muffler Mod. As of right now i am using the Lingerfelter LNC 2 step to launch. After using the 2 step a few times the welds inside the muffler crack and i keep getting them rewelded. So i thought about having my exhaust guy just remove the mufflers all together and just run straight pipe?

All advice and opinions are greatly appreciated on what I should be running.

Was running LG GT4.. Unfortunately my car belches fire every time it gets on the rev limiter.. Melted the packing material in the mufflers, which then solidified and sounded like broken glass.

No fault of LG.. These were great pipes, just not for my race car.

Straight 3" pipes this year

Straight pipes are for grain trucks. I run a Z06 catback straight to a vacuum source. They open under high load conditions so no real restriction issues.

I run a custom 3 inch stainless setup. Its sectional and V-banded, and also fits past the large pan on the 4L80e. For mufflers the car uses a one off set of Ti mufflers from Borla built back in 2002.
