Z06 muffler mod question???
Hey all, I'm thinking of having the muffler mod done on my Z06 mufflers to make them louder, the question is does it make it louder only when the butterflies are open, or all the time? And how much louder does it make them, I've heard 25%?

I have a set of Z06 pulloffs coming for my '07 and I plan on doing the mod, including pulling the glass pack from it.
I suspect it is going to be louder on both the butterflies open and closed sides but I'll let ya know (gonna be around 2 weeks however before I get the mod done and get them installed)
By the way, the OP is talking about this type of mod (there are a couple ways to do it but the result is the same)

Once the pipe is welded shut the glass packing really doesn't have much affect, plus the NPP's have perforated exhaust tips which makes a little different tone. I would prefer the NPP's but the modded Z06 mufflers are cheaper

The Z06's that have the mod and the NPP's sound pretty much identical. I have ran both on my car and really couldnt tell much difference between the two ( modded Z06's vs NPP's) . I currently have the modded Z06's one my car.Now the B&B Fusions on the other hand, they are louder all the way around, open and closed. Much louder than the NPP or Z06 with the mod.

At the Valley Vettes GTG yesterday I heard the muffler mod with the M2W which is definitely louder, but if you want a deep muscle car sound this just won't do it.
The best sounding Z06 I've heard was in October at the Laguna Seca ALMS race weekend when I was Dick Guldstrand's passenger in a parade lap. His Katech engined 427 with headers and Flowmaster mufflers sounded fantastic, much deeper than mine with its Bullets or a Katech Z with Corsas that I've heard at this GTG.

I did the mod. Sounds great i think. Idle is more crisp and you can hear the cam alittle more and on throttle it sounds much different and better. I like it all around. for the money cant beat it. Definately recommend it to anyone!
