Thanks, The clip was important to me. I'm an older member 61, and I've got an 06 z51 and I want to do some mods, but I want the sound to be docile. This clip really helped dispel some of my concerns. I'm thinking about LGs, do most of the guys get their headers coated?

When I get my LG's installed, I'll be selling my Bullets and going with a Route 66 system. The Bullets are a little louder than I like without the headers, but they do sound sweet.

I'm loving my new LGPros with hi-flows, full 3" mid-pipes and stock Z06 cans. I have Ed's control box so I can open butterflies on demand. I need to get a sound clip made. This set up sounds nasty and the torque is rdiculous.

you could go the route I am.. B&B LTs with PRT and bullets.. It wont be as bad as other LTs with the bullets + some dynomat for insurance.. for the money you would lose on seeling off your bullets, you could just pick up a ported intake and more then make up the difference.

What is the advantage of doing a Z06 exhaust on a c6? And what does the flapper improve on the exhaust other than louder noise?

Just wondering, thx!
