Any word on aftermarket muffler options?
Just wondering if there was any in the works yet? I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'm not very fond of the ZL1's exhaust note. Just my opinion guy's, go easy on me ...

Anyways, I'm excited to start hearing some different mufflers on these things, just haven't heard of any aftermarket ones yet...

With 4 cats on the car I doubt it would be very loud with no mufflers. Butterflies open at the lower rpm would be a good indicator.

Since the exhaust is computer vacuum controlled, will you throw a code if the exhaust is removed? Lol sounds funny to ask tht but its possible with this...

Same here... It's not horrible or anything, I'm just more of a Flowmaster sound kinda guy. Would love to hear the Z with a chambered exhaust similar to Flows...

Nobody said they were disappointed... We all just seem to have different preferences when it comes to exhaust notes/tones...
