Default ZO6 mufflers on C-5

New to the forum. Just bought an 04 MN6 coupe. Will a stock Z rear exhaust section bolt on to the stock coupe system? Other than the weight advantage are there any gains in flow or sound? Thanks for the help. :flag

Yes, yes and yes.
The Z exhaust sounds deeper and throaty. Nice compromise if you don't want the loud sounds of an aftermarket. Many members sell theirs when they swap them out. Good Luck. :thumbs:

I have them on my 03 vert. Big improvement over the stock exhaust without paying big bucks. A slight noticeable difference at idle, quite a bit louder at WOT. Don't know if I really gained any power but I like the sound.

Thanks for the quick feedback. Now hope to find a Z system in DFW area.

Great mod for the $$$, you can buy used Z06 Ti's for about $400. They sound great and save about 25 pounds over stock mufflers. And they look good.

:iagree: with Tom. If you're planning on adding headers, etc., the Ti won't get too loud as has happened to some.

The Z06 exhaust is hands down the best mod I've done on my car. After the heads and Cam install the sound even got better.
