Default H Pipe On the Z

Is the H pipe on the Z Titanium? I want to change it and put and x-pipe, to get rid of the exhaust jingle, but if it Titanium I like to keep it stock then. Thanks for the help.

The only parts of the exhaust system that are titanium are the over the axle pipes and the mufflers. The H pipe is aluminized steel, I think.

Nope - not titanium. Just the mufflers are titanium. Time to put a nice header system on there with the stock mufflers. You will love the way it sounds!

Sure love to put headers on it but will it pass smog with the headers? California got strict emissions. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Paul. If the tech is through and you install long tubes it will not pass the visual exam. But the gains in HP / TQ are quite impressive along with the new sound.

BTW, are you Mike and Stacy's roomie?
