Thumbs up L99 Exhaust Versus ZL1 NPP Exhaust with LT's

I swapped the factory L99 exhaust out for a factory ZL1 NPP exhaust on my car. Dynoed before and after a couple of hours apart. The factory L99 exhaust is not to bad, the ZL1 NPP exhaust made 4rwtq and 2rwhp at peak and 4-5rwhp through the middle over the L99 Exhaust! It has a deeper tone at idle than the L99 and is not as raspy at wide open throttle. Also I have 1 7/8's Stainless Power headers and no cats with both combo's.

NPP exhaust has a vacuum control cut out built into the muffler ( duel mode exhaust). ZL1's and 1LE cars have this.

Well so much for the 6rwhp everyone claims that NPP exhaust is worth! But it was worth it for the sound!
