Oil Cooler Interference
I just completed changing out my 2011 Grand Sport 2.5" stock exhaust system using a stock Z06/ZR1 3" exhaust system. I previously added the Edelbrock supercharger which came with an oil cooler. It turns out the oil cooler that came with the 599 hp package is actually a Camaro 6.2l oil cooler and would not properly clear the new exhaust. I had to install a ZR1 oil cooler which set me back an additional $600 in order to clear the exhaust. I picked up 24 rwhp with the 3" exhaust.
