Default HFC w/ x-pipe

What do you think about doing Random Technology High-flow-cats w. x-pipe as my first mod on the ZO6. ( $700 ). I wanted a Cat-back but it seems like a waste on the ZO6 since its TI and it will only be getting louder w/ cat-back, headers, etc.... So what am I looking at performance wise, as well as sound.

I doubt you will notice any performance gains. The HF cats might raise the exhaust note a touch. Spend your $700 elsewhere IMO

Just save a couple more bucks and get a whole system with headers.

I bought my dynatech supermaxx system for $850 from a vendor (used). they came with hollowed cats, so after I told them, they shipped my brand new dynatech cats + new hardware kit. Can sell them for at least $250. Install was $200. Total of $800 for the real deal. Point is, keep shopping. You need the LT's for the performance gain. After tune, I gained about 40rwhp.
