LT4 exhaust on a ZR-1
So I have been running Corsa for several years. I need a no resonance exhaust, but the snap crackle pop does seem to get annoying at times.
I had a chance to get a very low mileage LT4 Exhaust to try out, I wanted to see how is sounds Initial impressions are good to me, but I only drove it a short bit. I do have a couple small leaks I need to fix but it was a nice clean modification, Granted I am running Watson Headers (2") and a pair of Magnaflow 3" Cats. here are some pictures of the interface at the head pipes

Re: LT4 exhaust on a ZR-1
Looks good, nice job. LT4 exhausts are suppose to the most free flowing of the stock C4 exhausts. Had one on my 91’ L98, even sounded good.

Re: LT4 exhaust on a ZR-1
It looks awesome... and completed in the garage.
Let us know how it sounds and breathes when you get to drive it more. =D>

Re: LT4 exhaust on a ZR-1
I used this:
https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-17350-P...70_&dpSrc=srch I will say that the bends are all OEM. I just cut the one side and stretched it and it lined up. The piece on the car was an extra piece I had, but will be swapping to one that is a bit longer to help mitigate a couple leaks Added picture with one end stretched with the tool.. needed to swap between 2 dies.. took 45mins..

Re: LT4 exhaust on a ZR-1

Hans the Magnaflows are a much better (easier) fit
