I have a 2016 Z06 M7 Convertible w/Z07 package.
First thing I did was replace the entire cat-back with a Corsa double helix 3" pipe, and a Corsa Xtreme muffler system with the four 4" black anodized round tips.
I wanted two things: 1) four BLACK outlets to match the black theme of the car, and 2) improved exhaust flow under acceleration.
This is unadulterated, American V8 sound, at all RPM ranges. I feel it revs somewhat faster now, too.
There is zero chance of anyone mistaking this car for anything other than what it is, ... am American icon.
I don't care about the sound, as much as I care about a freer flowing exhaust, and I don't need "hush" valves of any kind. It's a Z06, not a Prius.
The car will never see "eco" mode. If I wanted quiet, I'd have bought a Chevy Volt.
The idle on this thing is big block V8 of yesteryear. The sound under acceleration is intoxicating, way beyond factory stock system. It's phenomenal.
Not sure how much horsepower gain I achieved, though from reports of others I've seen there must be some. Not really worried about that, but damn does it sound authoritative.
