Z06 TI Exhaust Question
I have been looking into an aftermarket exhaust system for my Z06 pretty soon. So, my current exhaust would be for sale in the future. However, i have made an observation ; my tips don't look like the the other z06 exhaust tips. They are a a bronzer color than a polished finish even after a cleaning. I'm not sure if it is a true TI exhaust. How can i be sure? I dont want to advertise something for sale that is not genuine.

The tips on the Ti pipes were flashed with chrome during their manufacture.
They should take on a brilliant shine when polished.
Also, the word "Titanium", and the GM part number, should be stamped into the muffler shells if they are OEM.

If your after a different sound, go ahead and change the axleback. But you will not be improving performance over a Ti-system. They are very good. Just wanted to throw that out there. If you are strictly going for performance, spend the money elsewhere.

Well i finally got around to taking a look underneath turns out the word "TITANIUM" is on there. So I'm not sure whats going on with the tips but they resemble the ones on this car.
