Driver impressions from those who did some porting please

The trick is finding an LT4 system. Z06 cats are easy.

Jeff,

Currently tuning Hans’ 90 w similar setup. Working on tuning out most of the rich smell which is typical at idle. We’ve been able to reduce it significantly.

Wow, what a slick system- I bet that is a lot of fun!

Some of us here in the Windy are using the C6Z06 NPP valves mated to DynoMax Ultraflow muffs. I have a switch in the center console controlling Open/Close on these. I mostly drive w them closed. Even w/o resonator, they do a good job of controlling drone IMO. Especially w better tuning.
W the valves open, everything still goes thru the muffs but now a second opening is operative giving the exhaust a deeper bass note much like a big block.

There was definitely a strong odor in the garage on start up but as Gunny notes, not at 70 mph. Marc reminded me that it is what cars smelled like in the 60s and 70s. I think if i still had the '95 I would add some bullet cats or maybe the Z06 ones noted elsewhere to minimize this. --Bob

For me it was certainly the perfect system and I did enjoy it. Always fun to be sitting quietly at a light then open up the cutouts. Or starting the car with the cutouts open, say when you are leaving a car show.--Bob

Understood, but it is still there. I have almost all the pieces, i just need to make them all fit together

Bill, you just couldn't leave it original huh lol.......Mods on these cars are addictive. Once one starts, it's hard to not keep going! I plan on making it to Bowling Green this year for the Gathering, and plan on asking you guys with Mods ALOT of questions!!! And maybe ask for some ride alongs, to get a feel for the different exhaust / header combos.......Ya, I'm going to be that guy who asks a million questions lol.
