SS exhaust swap for ZL1?? i know someone is going to try ;)

I know im NOT the only person thinking bout this.. and i KNOW the ZL1 is a ways away from being produced hell they are just annoincing Allocations tomorrow for the lucky dealers.. however.. I Know someone is going to get bold and order a full ZL1 exhaust and try to bolt it up to there SS =] but will it work in theory?? we know the ZL1 has the same type of opening valve system as the corvettes do (some of the vetts have not all though) but is it electronic opening valve after a certain RPM? or is it with exhaust force itself?

I swear to God I was thinking about the same thing this morning... I was warming my car & liked the sound of the exhaust at start in the morning... then I thought shit, the ZL1 exhaust will sound much better than this...

So where we can get them come on guys...

I mean unless they have special spacing and i know there will have to be some rear diffuser modding cause the ZL1s diffuser bolts uip to the specific rear bumper designed for it.. in theory this shhould still work!?!? or is it electronic?? hlp us out here Chevy workers?

pretty sure it's electronic set to open at a certain rpm if it's like the system in the Vette ZR1, tho you can buy one of those "mild to wild" things that will allow you to control when it's open/closed....not sure if that would be an option either though considering that works through the obd port I believe...

Yall do realize that the ZL1 will probably sound different all around due to the different stuff it has on it.
I'm sure by installing the exhaust you wont get the same sound.

just saying
