I'd bet not, usually losses in TQ/HP at lower RPM's though...but most manufacturers won't tell you that.

All around on my C5 I was more than happy with the exhaust. Cant wait to hear the feedback on this and hear some sound clips of it!
had them on my c5

I can tell you I picked up 12 RWHP and 10 RWTQ on my 03 Z06 with the C5 PRT's.

The C5 Z06 Ti exhaust was acclaimed to be very efficient so the gains were surprising. Not sure how this will translate to the C6 bi-mode exhaust though.

yeaaa lets hear em!

We are working on getting the sounds clips finished up and will post them as soon as possible.

Any whp gains over the stock one?

Testing has shown increases of as much as 13-15rwhp over stock.

What's the price?

Retail price on the standard system is $1595 and the black ceramic coated tips an additional $150.

Mark you guys did a great job on my full exhaust system.

Thanks 90sundevil

Have you put one on a car yet? How would you describe the way it sounds compared to the fusion or the Acropovic?

My new PRT came in on Friday. I worked all weekend and hope to get the Fusion off and the PRT on this week. Stay tuned!

Ordering mine today! Now the big debate is to do headers or not, had these on my C5 which had longtubes and hiflow cats and it sounded awesome with the PRT. I am very curious to see how the higher compression of the LS7 sounds through just hte stock manifolds and cats.

PRT's rock

ps- who am I kidding...I am sure at some point I will be ordering headers

Are you able to simply purchase and install the last section of the exhaust (as is pictured on the website?) or do you have to buy the full system? I'm really digging the black tips and might be interested in swapping out my fusions for this, but I'd prefer not to have to buy the who system. Anyone?

The tips are welded to the system and are not sold separately. If you want to send your current B&B system back we can get the tips coated for $150 plus shipping.

That is an excellent question.

Any chance you can post a vid with idle and drive-by when you're done? I'd also be very interested in your honest assessment of the drone factor.

Appreciate the response. What are the tips coated with in order to withstand the heat/condensation/etc?

It is a ceramic coating so heat/condensation/etc are not an issue.

Any idea what the Db level is at full song. Running Laguna has a Db level for track days at 92 Db.

I noticed on your site that the Prts are discussed on the C6 section and not the Z06 section. I assume this was just a choice of where to put the doc and that the Prts are also for the Z06.

Also saw the Xpipe has a resonator. Is Xpipe +/- hp/tor?

Had the PRTs on my C5z, hoping this is the right choice for my C6z.

We will have the PRT added to the site soon. All the x-pipes are available with the resonators as a way to tune the exhaust note. They just help to take the edge off the system.

We have seen slight increases in power with the x-pipe, but the larger gain is in the way it help to even out the exhaust note and give you a cleaner sound. Also seems to make it slightly quieter.

Let us know if we can help you.
