new owner to the zo6 crowd.....picked up my 2003 torch red z about a month ago......any suggestions on a header back exhaust system?
and curious does anyone have a flat spot between shifts( 2nd and 3rd)
and no it's not the clutch slipping....just a slight lag then burst of power....any thoughts on this would be helpful..thanks

LG or Kooks long tubes into 3" randomtech cats with X-pipe and finish it off with your favorite sounding exhaust. I am running Corsa.
Congrats on getting a great ride!!

The flat spot sounds like your traction control is kicking it. Take the traction control off or put the car in "competition mode" and see if it still happens.
