Default Exhaust plates...Difference in quality???

I am looking for an exhaust plate for my 01 ZO6..

I would like a high quality one that will last..
I have seen several different versions with differing prices..

Could someone piont me to one with high quality??

Price not really a concern..

Also if anyone has ever seen a brushed aluminum version of the exhaust plate,could you please let me know where you got it from??

Thanks and

Many of the forum vendors have the exhaust plates, ranging from chrome plated steel to some expensive billet aluminum pieces. Try Mid-America, West Coast Corvettes, Ecklers, etc.

LAPD (and maybe some others) sells a nice rolled one that is better than average (larger & thicker) without going billet. Price is reasonable.

I like the rolled plates too. They are larger and thicker too. I got mine from Corvette Garage for a bill. You can find them on Ebay too but not sure about the quality.

I got the Billet made one... It's the 2nd to thickest one I've seen, without going to the one that has 2 holes on each side, and bolts to your exhaust pipes.
