oh ya..and hows that x-pie taste? lol

I definitely want to hear yours when you get it done, Flowmaster

Hey Alex, car sounds nice!!

Hope your not worried about the crackling from the exhaust when its revved. It will go away when you put some more miles on your car. Enjoy your beautiful car

I love the ZL1's but yours looks ridiculously good!

Hurst equipped · 05-19-2012, 01:09 PM

i like it very nice. good move.

you have to click desktop at the top of the page so it will play the desktop version. The link he posted was for the mobile version.

SIRLOIN · 05-19-2012, 05:33 PM

eh, i dono. I think it sounds worse than before. Like a truck...

The Z really needs a chambered exhaust like flowmasters... I think that with some longtubes and an x pipe, would sound awesome, IMO...

I agree. I had the Stingers on my C5 Vette and also have them on my C6. Mated with the LG long tube headers, it has a very powerful but not overly loud sound.

Having heard the ZL1's system, though, I think I'll leave it as is when I take delivery.

Yeah I think I should just spend that money towards headers

*radz28* · 05-19-2012, 09:58 PM

Is it still active?...

I think it sounds pretty nice (as nice as a cell phone vid will allow). I bet it sounds great in person!

xVengeancex28 · 05-19-2012, 10:35 PM

sounds good!

Bad@ssCamaro · 05-20-2012, 12:57 AM

Sounds a lot meaner, like it's cammed sorta. Great Job!

RocketCutlass · 05-20-2012, 01:55 AM

What did you do with the vacuum butterfly valves? Remove them? What about the vacuum lines?

2012ZL1 · 05-20-2012, 02:38 AM

I don't think I like that sound..too rappy

*mlee* · 05-20-2012, 03:18 AM

Maybe this will help.

I'll be leaving my stock mufflers on... headers are always possible depending on other mods.

I can't say much though... I have Corsa catback with headers and no cats on my SS.

piepouli · 05-20-2012, 10:34 PM

sounds good, but I realy like the stock exhaust

fiascoes1 · 05-20-2012, 11:04 PM

thanks everyone! it sounds like the stock system in person but alittle deeper and louder with full throttle, the video doesnt do it justice! it is a prototype system that they are designing. they asked me if they can take the car back to do some more r&d and possibly develop long tube header system! the valves arent active anymore, infact they plugged the hoses.

fiascoes1 · 05-25-2012, 05:54 PM

Ok guys on Tuesday Borla will be picking up my Zl1 again, looks like its time for some headers, when its all done I will be posting a good quality video so stay tuned.

Z4me · 05-25-2012, 06:34 PM
