Default Decided to do the muffler mod on my Z06 (pics and video inside)

I was bored with the sound of my Z06 and wanted to change it up a bit. I already had the mild to wild mod on it. The muffler mod took me about 4 hours start to finish and the sound difference was AMAZING! Now I'm thinking about trying out a ZR1 x pipe and see how it sounds from there. Here are a few pics and a video at the end. Enjoy!

Great video for those on the fence or don't know much about this.

Best bang for the buck mod on a stock C6 Z by far IMHO. Loved this mod when I did it to my old C6 Z 3.5 years ago, and sounds GREAT at WOT.

I actually can say I liked the stock C6 Z mod bette than my B&B Bullets I put on my old C6 Z.

Enjoy the new sounds, sounds like Corsas at idle and tooling around town, and bad to the bone at WOT.

Im assuming this is pretty much the same as running straight pipes and it would be louder...? Any drone?

I agree about the best buck mod for sound, but I bet you're the only one that likes its sound better than the Bullets.

Nice video but I would never drive that fast in a residential area. I'd lose my license for a year if I got caught doing that.

Great video bro , I did the mod 2 years ago and I can't tell the difference in sound between corsa sports and the muffler mod . I had the corsas and they both sound the same .

Default Muffler Mod

Do you put the bags back in after the mod or leave them out?

Yes, it's like running straight pipes. Not a lot of drone that I have noticed.

Yes, it is open the entire time until the trooper is spotted.

I did the mod and w/just LT's I liked it. However, after H/C, I wish I would have left it alone. Lot's of drone in "open" mode. I will admit, it sounds great at WOT though lol.

There is a slight drone when cruising on the highway say 70mph but I just close the valves and it's quiet again. That's the beauty of this mod!

Getting tons of compliments on this. Even preformed a 150MPH flyby on a closed course, amazing sound!

Yup, best bang for the buck mod out there. Car sounds great with the muffler mod.

I get ALOT of compliments at the local autocrosses. People just love how the car sounds with this exhaust and headers.
