Z/28 Exhaust v.s. SS Exhaust
Do you think GM will use the same exhaust/muffler from the SS on the Z/28 or will it be 3" and better flowing system?
Does anyone know what they use on the new CTS-V coupe? I bet, it will be the same or better. |

From the looks of it, it looks like the mufflers are more traditionally shaped in addition to what we can easily see in terms of the new tip configuration. I'm sure diameter will increase to anywhere from 2.75 - 3.00-inches.
No one knows for sure yet :(

I'm pretty certain in will be the same as CTS-V. In the recent videos when the Z28 was following the CTS, they both sounded identical. So, we can find out about CTS-V, we know about the Z. But I hope it's more than 2.5 diameter. and better flow CATS. |

I hope GM does not use those hideous mufflers they gave all of us on our SS's, I was never so happy as I was day I had my Corsa installed at Jannetty Racing.

It will be different, most likely a bit louder and freer flowing. How much is anyones guess.

The CTS-V exhaust is actually pretty quiet - especially given the power level of the car.
I just can't imagine that the Z/28 would have the same exhaust setup as the SS. I'm sure it would be noticeably louder... Best regards, Elie

It should also be one of the areas where they save weight over the SS. The SS cans are heavy and huge.

I think I remember Pedders saying they helped with air flow, too, hence their shape; I don't recall for sure though Regardless - I'm happy with most any way reasonable for GM to control the weight and minimize it

Speaking of CAI, I'm pretty sure we have to change the stock exhaust to a CAI, but if we do, I'm sure we have to retune it, otherwise you get errors from the MAF sensor. Hey Radz, are you planning to get a Z? If I'd like to hear your reasoning. Not that I need to be convinced, but I like to see if I'm on the page. |

Look for dual mode on the Z28 and perhaps a titanuim exhaust like the C5 Z06 to save weight.

It'd be pretty cool to see some Ti come back to exhaust, like C5 Zs had. I doubt it, but if we get good sized tubes, good flowing mufflers, and even better - the dual mode valves, I'll be reconsidering any CB or AB purchase. I think there are better sounding exhausts out there, however, if the performance doesn't really match up to the price for those systems, then I'll definately be thinking twice. I've definately got other power-enhancing ideas in mind that I know will make more power with no side-effects except for tire smoke I believe GM did a great job on SS exhaust, and deliberately tuned it for the ears, so I have no reason to think they won't make similar investments for Z28.
