Call Roger Witham At Texas Quality Performance. His website is tqpe.com 281-999-8855
He is out of town until later this week. I would give him a call on Friday.

I highly recommend Roger Witham from Texas Quality Performance Exhaust. Excellent customer service and performs outstanding work. He's completed "muffler mods" on several members vettes, and installed his custom Varaflow system on my vette.

Does anyone know what he charges for this muffler mod and how long it takes? I will be traveling from Beaumont and wonder if i can wait on it there or is it an all day affair?

I also recommend Roger and TQPE. When he did mine he already had several modded mufflers ready to go and just swapped mine out. It only took as long as need to pull and replace the exhaust. Of course i paid for the mod but the install was quick.
Call him and ask his for his price, i don't want to speak for him.

I take it you are happy with it? I might eventually swap it for a higher flow exhaust if I ever cam, bolt-on, and tune.

He did mine Friday, excellent job. I benefited from him having one around the shop he modded ahead of time, so all it took me was an hour and I was out. Definately louder, with a little extra burble. Pleased.

So this is a great way to make your car sound nasty and put the saved money toward better mods. The muffler mod shines when you get on the throttle. At idle it is only slightly louder. I would recommend this to anyone. I wish I did it the day I got the car. It just makes the can more fun to drive....sounds great.

Roger did mine Saturday. Guys this is more than just a good "bang for the buck" mod. This is a great mod period. I'm kicking myself in the *** for not doing it the day I bought the car.
Anyone in Houston who doesn't already have an aftermarket exhaust needs to go see Roger. It simply does not make sense to me to not get this done!

If you ever get tired of the muffler mod, take it back to Roger for his full custom exhaust system (Varaflow), then tell him to take the cats off like I did...you'll still have the versatility of quiet to loud (i.e. mild/wild) but I would venture to guess that you've never heard a "wild" quite as awesome as this!!!

Does anyone have any sound clips of before/after the "muffler mod?" I am flying out to pick up my Z next week, just curious what all the fuss is about.
Nevermind, just searched around a bit and found a video. Sounds good, just not a fan of sounding like a race car while performing like a street car. If you are loud, you better be fast, that's how I feel.

I completely agree. Does a very nice job with the muffler mod at a very reasonable price. He even covers it with a warranty should the need arise.

The Z06 is a fast car when compared to most cars, but if a quiet Z06 ran the same as a loud Z06, I would rather be quiet and fast instead of loud and fast with a "look at me" mod. Just difference of opinions, and who knows...maybe if I heard one in person, I may change my mind, but why not just buy a full exhaust? Then you get the sound and the power that comes with it.
