Default “Top Speed Pro Performance”

Of all the big names in the aftermarket parts game Ive Researched the history and demand of the titanium exhaust, other than factory this is the only brand I’ve found that offers a full scale titanium exhaust. My fascination with this material is strictly because it’s rare. If no ones got it I want it and I wanna take it to the next level. I took a different route after all the fuss I made on the factory Ti exhaust. That would have been The only used bolt on dded to the project. After further consideration and with just a couple more bucks..... we’ll double and then some lol I’m going for it. Nothing used is going on this one.

They had a video up on their site with a C5 walking and talking a C5 Z06 and it sounded fierce. And that puts the button in my reckless spending for my big boy toys... for the month. Gonna be a completely different car in 2 weeks. Thanks for all the help and advice people. Here’s a pic of the exhaust.

Looks pretty good. Post up a video of how the exhaust sounds and looks on the car once you get it installed.

It looks good!! I tried to listen to the video but would not play. Not sure why. Same price as a Corsa. Does it sound the same?

The SS set is $500, and the Ti is $1300. Sounds pretty good, but I won't be trading in my Corsas. I doubt if the Chinese care about drone.

the video only worked for me once but it sounded really really nasty aggressive. I liked it much better than Corsa or Borla. I spent a **** ton on parts this week so while looking for a lower cost header and turns out the forum members love the XS Powers which are much less in cost. AND THOSE TIPS!!

Bud , After all the money I dumped into this baby I’ll have a video up for sure. I may have to just go the extra mile and get new tires. Why spike the ball on the 1 yard line lol

Years ago Corsa made a cat back TI exhaust system for the C5. They were mainly used buy the hard core road racer. The first sets were made for the Skunk Works for the 2001 Z06 convertible conversions (only 2 made) and put on in their Troy facility, and the first factory (Cleveland, OH) installation was made on a black 2001 Z06 in April of 2001.

A catback isn't really a performance mod. Sound improvement only. You must be unaware of the drone induced by many aftermarket catbacks. Most people get tired of it real fast.
