Minimal HP gains, minimal sound difference (at least when new), and it looks like to me all years are the same. Should simply bolt on unless there is something different between early car exhausts and later ones that I don't know about.

A little weight savings, but most Forum members would be better off losing that amount themselves. But, HEY, titanium exhausts have serious "cachet" in bench racing circles. I like it.

All the best. :yesnod:

I agree -- the upgrade price is not worth it.

I just purchased the TI's off a '02 yesterday; not installed yet. I'm hoping they will give me a little more sound than my stock system at idle with a bigger bang at WOT. I purposely went with the TI's because I wanted to stay with a "mellow" tone in the interior. Hope I made a good decision! :steering:

I have the Z06 system on mine. The sound at idle is a little deeper and it is definately louder at WOT. There is no resonance at all and the tips look great. I hate the Cadillac tips that came stock on mine. I think you will find that the vast majority of people who have this exhaust-LOVE THEM. :cheers:
