Stock cats limits?
i just picked up an 01 MY z06 and sold the mustang. the z06 is an awesome car
. so i am new to c5 z06. i have a couple of questions:
what are the limits of the stock cats on an 01 z06? i was thinking of getting some LG long tube headers but i am confused about the cats. i want to keep them, just unsure if i need to order new cats when i get the LT headers and h pipe? i know that 2002 has a different setup. i am looking to get 420rwhp with other mods.

Congrats. Most Z06 owners came from Mustangs as well.
If you go with longtubes, the stock cats/h-pipe will be eliminated just like on a Mustang would. LG sells a matching catted x-pipe with their LTs so you can go with those. Most of the highflow cats have been proven to lose no HP over going catless/off-road.

'01 has 4 CATs
The '01 has 4 Cats i.e. 2 pups and two of the older two block design CATs. The '01 OEM system has 2 pounds more back pressure than the 2002- 2004 Z06, so more restrictive. That is why I swapped out the '01 for an '02 exhaust, eliminating the pups and using the newer 1 brick design CATs.
