Z/28 parts on ZL1
Walking around the GM booth at SEMA had me thinking...
I wonder how much improvement in HP the 2.75" Z28 exhaust is over the stock ZL1 version (I think it's 2.5" tubes). What would have to be done to adapt the Z28 intake onto the ZL1? |

Mid pipes? I doubt much. Most after market catbacks are 3" and a catback isn't much in the way of performance gains.

I was wondering the same thing since my dealer service rep showed me yesterday, while they had the car on the rack for oil change, that I have a leaky welds on my mid pipes on the exhaust system.

I am really interested in the Z/28 intake and potentially the rotors.

Z/28 has an option for a 3" catback system from the factory. It's on the bottom right hand corner of the Z/28 performance accessories stand at the GM booth

Why bother with the intake when we have a proven product in the name of Rotofab?
What am I missing? |

Will the rear spoiler on the Z28 fit on the ZL1?

It will fit a 2014 ZL1, it won't fit any of the earlier trunk lids.

+1 and why bother with the exhaust when you can get a better after market 3" catback for cheaper then the GM z/28 one

I guess it's just something about having one with a GM part number. I guess I'm picky that way.

Besides, we all have been asking for factory performance parts and stage kits for a while now that increase performance with a GM warranty if at all possible. They must have a good cost to performance ratio though.

I was under the belief that the "performance parts" from GM are actually manufactured thru the aftermarket companies? If you add the GM part or the other make aftermarket part it's still an add on part. I have yet to read a post stating that by adding aftermarket parts to their ZL1 the warranty was voided when they went in for service.
