I just picked up a MY '01 Z as well, 28k miles, with longtube headers/x pipe/cold air/and Ti exhaust..and man does it sound pretty good! I remember having the Tis on my 2000 convertible a few years ago before I sold it for a '68 convertible, and it didn't sound anywhere near as sexy..must be the headers that does it.

Thanx Wood 81!I didn't like the sound of my stock TIs at first but they kinda grew on me.Used to the rumble of the old muscle cars.But when I punch it ,it sounds cool.

Wood81,

I like the stock Ti exhaust, I had a 2007 C6 and went through the whole mod, tires, wheels, headers, exhaust, brakes, rotors, oil cooler, tune, everything short of new engine. Sold it last year and got a 2003 C5Z.

I have put an oil cooler, steel brake lines, more aggressive pads on it. Got Rims, tires, Seats, Kraus Bar, Trans Cooler and 5 point harness this Xmas.

Don't know if I am going to do headers maybe later on in the year.

When did you get out of the Service? I was a Geospatial Intelligence
