exhaust question and your opinion
Are the factory manifolds/ cats & mufflers heavy compared to after market headers and muffs? Just courious about weight loss..
I also ordered 2 sets of stainless tips , one set for the ZR and one for the Z51 . Originally wanted to the square Gibsons for the ZR ( I was wanting to keep the factory look) but I'm really liking the double wall round ones. What you think ? |

I have the corsa system with the double wall round tips. Looks good and sounds good as well. Also no sonic cabin boom at any speed.

Re: exhaust question and your opinion
Don`t throw rocks at me but i like the square Gibsons better. Especially for the Z. Stock looks good and they would be chrome.

Re: exhaust question and your opinion
I like the DWR too. Came with squarish (Borla), switched to MFs later (and about to switch again to NPPs also round but angle cut).

Thanks Paul, Thats what I needed to see. I bought the gibson Square because they are almost a perfect match to the factory but yet round does look sweet.
