Default NORCAL SS Cat Delete kit

After months of sending my oem test pipes out to different places finally have a go on this exhuast setup. The OEM manifolds flow well on the z06 but the kinks in the system are the main cat pipes and also the mid pipe.

FITS C7 STINGRAY ALSO

Due to ship early December
$739 shipped to the lower 48 states
3" stainless steel
Bolt in deal
Replaces oem pipes from manifold exit to midpipe entry
Pipes are farther away from oil cooler/lines to keep temps lower
Ceramic coating is optional


I am taking orders now and will ship in 2 weeks. I can set you up with a paypal bill or you can shoot me a paypal payment tony@c7z06owners.com

I can also offer a corsa mid pipe to make it a bolt in deal which is $539 shipped. On a customers car where I deleted the main and rear cats was a solid 15-18 rwhp gain. Also since the pipes stay away from the oil/cooler lines and you can get the pipes coated it will keep temps lower.

On a z06 NO TUNE long tubes headers make about 20 rwhp the gains you see come from tuning which voids the warranty. So you can do my cat delete kit and since your not touching the tune at all (and I've had yet to hear a car blowing a engine up due to taking off the cats) its no biggie because you can swap back.

Oh and be prepared to have a race car sound in track mode. It will be loud but due to keeping stock mufflers with valves closed will be perfectly fine and mild


VIDEO OF IT IN ACTION



INSTALL (I highly recommend getting the corsa x pipe at same time which I can set up)
1.Disconnect battery
2.Remove tunnel brace
3.remove X-pipe
4. Unbolt engine mounts from cradle 5. Support engine
6. Lift engine
7. Unbolt cradle (6bolts)
8. Remove bolts from flange
9. Install off-road pipes

yes as exhaust flow will not let O2 heat up properly, but a O2 cheater may work or not

I am interested. Just looking for anyone that has successfully not had the CEL. If someone has kept from getting the CEL, how did you do it?

Maybe add simulators or whatever works to the pipes as a Kit?
