Default Do I lose stealth?

I really wanna purchase some longtube headers with an X pipe for my 2015 Z06, but I was just wondering if I did install something like that, will I still be able to keep my stealth mode. I’m aware that it’s not gonna be as quiet but I still would like to keep that feature.

you will not lose stealth , as long as you are not messing with your factory exhaust NPP.

Stealth mode will still be 90% as quiet with the NPP in place. When the car is warm I can't really tell much of a difference pre vs post headers in Stealth mode. However, on cold start, even Stealth Mode will be noticeably louder than before.
