Default quick exhaust question

Does the 2002 coupe (not Z06) have a steel or titanium exhaust? From googling around, I found that the titanium was introduced on the Z06 in the '01 model... but was it then standard on all 'Vette's afterward, or is it still exclusive to the Z06?

Thanks for the help,
-Aubry

All ZO6's come stock from the factory with Ti mufflers. NO other C5's comes from the factory with anything other than the crappy looking steel/aluminized mufflers with Cadillac tips. (GM,, what were you thinking???)

The TI system will however,, bolt right up without any issues! and it sounds SWEAT! You can find them in the C5 parts section.

Replaced the Borlas with Ti and they sound pretty good with my LT headers
