Thanks for clarifying.

Default Exhaust cooling

I have a 2016 z06 w z07 pkg and I didn’t get any exhaust cooling vents. When were they added

Only the ZR1 has the exhaust cooling vents. The Z07 just has the brake cooling vents.

What are the risks associated with leaving this equipment in place during street operation?
'Come with'?? Is this yet another thing dealer forgot on top of my disc rotor protectors?

Default Did Tadge ever answer this???

Have been doing some research on this mod and so far haven’t been able to locate this item or get a concrete answer as to what the overall effect is. I do see how it would pick up air and funnel it into the exhaust Xpipe cooling it but other than that still wanting to know 1) where to get and 2) what is the effect of leaving it on after track use. Tadgemahal any insight???
