Default Z06 exhaust question.

Can I replace my muffler assemblies on my C5 with ones from a Z06? If I do, will I get any gains?

The Z06 exhaust is only slightly more free flowing than the stock exhaust. It is 18 pounds lighter so the weight loss is a plus. As for the sound, on a completely stock C5, it will sound only slightly louder than stock, at higher RPM and at WOT, it will have a very nice sound. Still, it won't give you a Z06 sound. If you get a set of LT headers, it will really wake up the Z06 exhaust sound. With a cam, its heaven!!

I personally got LG LT Pro w/o cats and Z06 Ti with A&A mod. I love the sound and have not heard another C5 that sounds like mine
