Good luck.
I'd like to learn more about this. I have a 2004 Z06 CE, and wow is it loud. I kinda like it because it helps keep my speed down on the surface streets, and when I want to go fast, I can't anything but that throaty music to my ears :-)

But there are times when the audiophile in me wants to enjoy the music. I need a partition. Anyone have a link to a mfr?

Regards,

NW

Depends on how much $$$$ you want to spend. I got one from Ecklers for $99 and it looks and works great. There are other vendors who make them out of leather, etc and these look great and work well too. It is just a matter of budget, taste, etc.

Ecklers is a forum vendor and an indespensable source for all things Vette.

Hope this helps you out!

Haltech inductions are excellent. I stay away from SLP now, I would consider Supermaxx, LG's or Kooks Lt's. Get nice dyno tune and enjoy, until you get the itch for more.
Don't waste your money on a Catback unless you just want the sound. All you do is add weight, spend lots of cash, and get almost or no HP gains. It will sound nice though. I kept and plan on keeping my Ti's.

I haven't decided yet. Need to take a tape measure out and see what my vision will be like with these installed. I'm guessing that I can throw the rear view mirror away once these are in place???

I've been a bit busy this weekend, will be looking into this more thuroughly next week.

Cheers,

NW

I'd try to hold out for an Andy's partition used. I picked one up for a great buy. His new ones are high in price, but the quality really is great.
