Default Z06 Ti Exhaust??

Just how much better do they flow then a stock C5 catback? For instance on my 97- would I notice anything other then a little more rumble and a little less weight? I want to do an intake system like Blackwing, and a Z06 Ti catback...been to the track, now I want to go faster...within reason!

TIA!

Don't buy it for the HP, you will be disappointed. Maybe a couple, but the stock exhausts actually flow pretty good. I bought mine for a little more rumble and a really good weight loss. I wasn't even thinking about a HP gain.

How much of a flow difference is there between the Ti and say Borlas (Stingers) or Magnaflows (big polished ones)?

They also sound great with LT headers and give a nice growl without causing you to go deaf.

I've got the Halltech Stinger and Z06 Ti's. I noticed a slight bump from the stinger, but not much of anything from the Ti's. Your main benefits will be the overall look and weight loss.
