Straight pipes
I just had some custom straight pipes put on the Z today
Everytime I put my foot on the gas I just can't stop grinning
Definately the best/cheapest mod I've done

Sorry, I'm keeping them in case I have to throw them back on. I'll try and get a sound clip on here soon and yes I think it does scare women and children as well as set off car alarms! Finally, my Vette is louder than my Mustang!

What Headers, X-pipe and exhaust are you running up to the straight pipes??
I have TPIS LTs, Random Tech High flow cats & X-pipe, then the straight pipes.

Just a couple of questions...
How much popping is there if any when letting off the throttle? The X pipe probably helps alot.
Did you go with Borla or an exhaust shop custom a system up?
I am deciding on doing the Ti exhaust mod or e cut outs or doing straight pipes so any info or a sound clips would be awesome! Congrats and good luck

I had headers , no cats, x pipe and borla exhaust. Lost some low end power but the R's went up faster. I had to take it all off and go stock due to multiple tickets. I do find i get on it much more now that its quieter , before everyone would look when i nailed it. By the way in california its 1,000 dollar fine per cat if your caught without them.

Voadan, thanks, yeah it does help. I can't even take the thing out of the garage for another month (at least) because of the roads so if you get a clip on here great if not no biggie. Thanks for the info! Enjoy it!
