Default C5 Z06 sound

I have been tracking my 04 Z06 for years and never had problems with sound at Laguna Seca until I added a cold air intake and a new cam. Anybody knows a kit I could attach to my stock mufler to direct the sound the other way?

Most people just do a throttle lift when going by the sound meter....

you mean something like this?


Do you have stock exhaust? X-pipe will mellow out a little.. otherwise might be time for a resonator.. I saw a Resonated X-pipe that might do what you want.. and will give you room to do other mods as well (LT headers).

Either lift or figure out a way to attach some 90* tubing that points down and to the left.

Also, i know they're now doing 90dB days as well, instead of just 92dB days, so that could be part of the issue.
