Default Some new mods & parts to put on car

Just got back from picking these parts up here to put on the c7. The full set up from AKRAPOVIC exhaust system. I got them from a member in here from Tucker O. He is a great guy to deal with & got up with my daughter in little rock. I got every little part even the booklet from him stuff is 100% like new like he said.

I will be putting this on the car next weekend at home have to love the 4 post lift also.

Yep, Titanium weighs 42% less than the OEM 409 stainless. They could have also used thinner materials.

Some years of the C5 had OEM Titanium exhaust.

And it never ceased to amaze me how many owners replaced it with a SS catback.

I would only do the by pass on the c5 TI set up if I wanted louder in it. I cant wait until I get this new set up on the car. Robert
