Exhaust for Laguna Seca

Rapid_blue_zl1_22 · 07-19-2023, 01:59 AM

I am planning to do a track day at Laguna Seca in October. I currently have a Corsa NPP exhaust, Corsa intake, and a Kong X-Port blower. I am from Texas, can anyone local that has driven Laguna Seca before help me out with how to prep my car. I have a friend that has a stock SS (non-NPP) exhaust that he is going to let me use. Do I need "Laguna tips" for the SS exhaust? Will the stock SS exhaust have too much restriction for the ZL1? I'm sure I will probably have to put my stock air box back on. I think my blower whine is louder than my exhaust. Any help is appreciated.

Look up laguna seca pipes and that'll be all you'll need to do.

Trackspec Autosports in Fremont CA not far from Monterey makes great slip fit Laguna pipes, but I think you have to bring the car for them to make a set. I've only driven Laguna 3x in my ZLE and never invested in them.

If you don't use Laguna pipes a ZL1 will easily break the sound limit passing the check station at the beginning of the hill, remembering to lift there and waiting until you pass under the bridge can be hard when the adrenaline is pumping. It's tough to have a good lap time if you can't get enough acceleration up the hill.

Also note they have 93db and 105db days. That will come into play.
