Learned something new about ZR-1 stock mufflers today - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Doing some research for a friend today and discovered an interesting piece of Corvette trivia. There is actually a difference between stock 92-95 ZR-1 mufflers and LT-1 mufflers of the same vintage.
Apparently, 90-91 Z's used what GM called a "reverse flow" muffler as did the L98's of the time.
92-96 LT-1's and LT-4's used what GM called a "tri-low" muffler. 92-95 ZR-1's used a "straight through" muffler for increased flow.
At least that's what detailed reading of my "Vette Spec's" book says.

Trivia lesson over.
