I FOUND THE BEST EXHAUST!
Z06 exhaust with the bypass mod.
Lightweight, Freeflowing, Zero resonance, Exotic sound, Nice tips
Greg a local welder who welds strange materials for military applications and I worked together on this project.
We developed fixtures, templates, and a shielding gas apparatus for the job.
Ti welding requires a complete shield of inert gas inside and out or a vacuum chamber.
With all this in place Greg said he could do the next one much easier.
Greg's shop is Allens Speciality Welding in New Albany IN (812) 945 9454

Sounds interesting, I've been looking for a better sound, but don't wan't to loose the titanium or add any resonance. Can you ask him what it would cost to do another one?

Post pictures and sound clips. I can get Ti welded here in my home town so I would really like to hear what it sounds like before I spend 100 for the welding and tubing. :thumbs:

I have the same system on my car from Andy. The sound just gets better (and louder) with use. Several times my neighbor has asked what kind of modified exhaust I have. It has little noise at idle but you can really tell the difference at WOT.

Got a Ti ZO6 exhaust on my fixed roof coupe, does this mod make that much of a difference in the sound? I drive my car everyday to work in Louisville, about 100 miles round trip. I love the way it sounds now but if it will beef it up a little, it couldn't hurt! Thanks, Guy

I think that this is a great way to go for the large stroker motors...any feed back. Or is there a better muffler system that is light, free flowing, quiet at idle and still stock looking? I guess it may be a problem at emissions testing time.

Re: I FOUND THE BEST EXHAUST! (BluStreakk)
interesting.. I had the A&A mod on my 99 stock exhaust. Queit at idle but loud when you mash the go pedal. I liked it but there was too much cabin resonance in the mid 2000 range.
Wonder why its different with this setup..
I have the Z06 exhaust now and find it perfect for my tastes.. I personally would be worried about cabin resonance by doing this mod.
