Learned something new about ZR-1 stock mufflers today
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. H

I thought LT4's had the least restrictive exhaust setup? Also, does that mean the dual-square tips went away for '92, not '93?

And yes, 92' was the first year of the single rectangular tip in the LT1's. H
