You can install a ZR1 X pipe and axle back muffler system on a Z06. Unless you find a ZR1 owner unloading a set, they are very expensive.
A much better way to spend your money is on a set of long tube headers. Long tube headers exit farther back than the factory cast iron manifold/cat combo, so you must also purchase a matching X pipe with your headers. This X pipe will extend to your OEM over axle muffler system. You should be able to purchase a new header/X pipe combo for $1500-1800. LG, Kooks, and American Racing Headers are the top three for a C6 Z06.

From my understanding the Z06 exhaust (X vs H) was to improve sound. Also, it shares NOTHING with GS. GS has 2 1/2in and Z06 is 3in. The only thing it now shares with is ZR1 which had it first.
Your 'Z WILL sound as good as your dad's NPP if you install M2W....I had '09 Z51 w/NPP and had M2W andyes, it ound good....have it on my '10 'Z and my Z sounds better when on the highway or letting it stretch it's legs. Sitting idling....the NPP does sound good.
Hope this answers your question. I plan to change to it when my 'Z's exhaust needs changing or in a few years....just bought it few months back and letting the dust settle now....
