Hope I can score some ZO6 take offs. These look great!

If you keep a constant watch on the pats section you'll find one. You've just got to be quick.

the Z06 cat-back sounds pretty darn good with headers and a cam

I use Simple Green to remove the major grime. Then I go with Simi-Chrome to bring out the shine.

I just bought a set of ti exhaust that had come off an 04. They are dirty and the tips have a very bronze hue to them. Are the tips titanium? and if hence I can use stong abbrasives? What is flash chrome?
