Default Speedway Exhaust Question

I purchased a 2001 Z06 a few months ago, and a previous owner had swapped out the Ti exhaust for one with speedway tips. I am trying to figure out what system they installed but can’t seem to find any markings on the tips, mufflers, or pipes. Is there a way to tell? I think B&B and Corsa make them for the C5 but not sure who else. They do sound pretty awesome but I haven’t compared them side by side to a stock Ti.

Once I figure out what they are, my next question will be what is the difference vs the stock Ti exhaust. I’m not a fan of the speedway tips so this may lead to a swap out unless what I have is notably better.

Thanks!

I could be wrong and there may be others, but the only exhaust I have seen with the speedway tips is from B&B.

As far as I know, speedway tips are a B&B exclusive.

Thanks - sounds like it's time to research B&B vs. stock titanium...

The TI system will likely be quieter, but also probably a lot lighter.

But ya know, there might be a guy right over the bridge from Delaware in NJ with a BB Route 66 exhaust with oval tips whos looking to trade for a BB PRT exhaust with speed way tips. Just sayin

If you take a picture underneath we'll be able to tell which BB model it is pretty easily. I like the sound of my Route 66, I just want something louder. Keep me posted on what you find, maybe this can be mutually beneficial.

thanks for the offer - but after doing some investigating I definitely have the Route 66 from B&B. Love the sound, just not a fan of the tips. From other posts on this forum it sounds like what I have is better (for me) than stock Ti. Maybe someday I’ll change out the tips but will stay with the speedways for now.

Just an FYI Corsa did have a system with a "speedway style tip" I know I have the tips still from the Corsa Touring they came from. They were actually called GTR tips by Corsa also.
