Default Z06 cat back differences?

Are all c5 Z06 cat back stock systems the same? I have a 99 vert and am looking to do the swap and just want to make sure I buy the right thing.........

In other words, does the year make a difference?

All years were the same (2001-2004) Titanium will be stamped on the muffler.

These systems will bolt right up on your 99 vert. Good luck.

other than sound you are throwing money away, max power is maybe 5hp and that won't win you a race, but your money so go for what you like.

Same from '01-'04 but hard driven cars have louder exhausts over time which doesn't hurt performance.

Ragged out cars sound meanest.

You are mistaken.

I disagree! Performance is all about a power to weight ratio. The Z06 titanium mufflers are a great way to remove weight from your Corvette. They definitely sound better too.
