The Vettes have true duals already. To cat or not to cat has been beaten to death. Its a personal choice/ legal issue too.

You've never seen the underside of your car, have you. These things even have leaf springs. Betcha didn't know that.

When you get a moment, put it on a lift and take a peek. It'll blow your mind.
