B&B w/C6 Z06 flappers

[Pete]

On Friday me and Al installed C6 Z06 vacuum actuators on my B&B Triflo tailpipes,all i can say is freaken awesome:thumbsup:
Sound is 50% down very tame driving around town and the rasonance is gone by 50% very quiet i can hear myself think :)

At WOT is a whole other story :-D

Like the McDonald's commercial says "i'm loving it"
Drove her all weekend.

Weird thing is when driving normal it sounds like a stock Z with Borlas when you get on it the sound transforms into a thundering big block.

Highly recommend this set up.

I have been waiting to do this too. Has the price dropped on used Z06 mufflers? last time I was looking they still wanted $$ for used.

[LGAFF]

They were cheap at Bloomington gold.

Thanks Nick

I didn't know you bought a C6 Z06 very nice.
That's the only car that would replace my ZR-1.

Enjoy

Nice mod Pete :thumbsup:
Wanted to do this a couple of years ago but couldn't find the actuators so I went the electric route.

[XfireZ51]

That's it.

Pete,

How much et do you think the extra weight will cost you?

[-=Jeff=-]

They were cheap at Bloomington gold.

Yeah at one vendor..

the others wanted $400 a pair

[Pete]

My exhaust set up for those that don't know.
Jeal 2" headers no/cats,SW x-pipe,B&B's,Dynomax bullets.

These vacuum actuaters snap open real fast with no vacuum since they are spring loaded to stay open.
When you snap the throttle in neutral they open smoothly.

Again i'm very happy with this set up.

Dom,i figure i added about 2 lbs but don't you worry i will find a way to remove it elsewhere.:)

Bob, can you post pictures of the electric ones.

Pete

[FU]

Nice work Pete !:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Bob, can you post pictures of the electric ones.

Sure, I used Warlock mufflers for the cutouts - the side with the cutouts is straight through with no muffling. Still need to finish the tailpipes. The advantage of electric is that you have total control of when and where you want to be wide open. Disadvantage is they take about 3 seconds to rotate fully.
