Looks like my delivery has been pushed back to tomorrow as well. No big deal as I wasn't going to be able to get it put on this week anyway.

I wasn't able to do a before/after dyno, but I did get the lid installed (took maybe 10-15 min). The blower sound is LOUD. Way louder than I ever thought it would be. Its almost to loud!

Does anyone have a good place to buy a 2017+ Z06 hood liner?

How do you like it? Mine showed up via Fed Ex yesterday. No idea when I'll be able to get it installed, though.

My only mod is intake, and blower whine is addicting to hear after the nx lid install. To answer your question yes it’s a very noticeable increase in sound.

Silver lid looks fantastic. Hope it goes as good as it looks!

Ok ...so far for me after a couple of drives....I’m getting not much of a SC whine at all??? I don’t drive any highway miles so I don’t get much of a chance to really wring it out....on the good side.... it seems to have better response and feels like it pulls harder for sure...but all I hear is my glorious Borla X Pipe and Catless Magnaflow Competition Exhaust screaming....
