Header install completed... video up - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Living in Australia puts a few restrictions or obstacles in the way of sourcing and trying parts the may or may not work for me. $ exchange rate and shipping costs, taxes, duty etc. what are your thoughts about this. A set of OBX or similar headers, no cats, original pipes and electric cut outs prior to the factory mufflers? Or all of that, but add a pair of locally sourced freer flowing rear mufflers. Just trying to upgrade sound and gain a little performance without too much hassle and expense. By the way I have not researched electric cut out systems. Is there good and bad, ones to stay away from?
Cheers. Russell

I personally don't like cutouts, they break often. It's cheaper, simpler and more practical to just put a set of free flow mufflers on like you mentioned. Removing the factory resonator isn't a bad idea either

I completely agree here it's the smell. You want to use the Random Tech or Magna Flows stainless high flow styles.

Or source some c6/c7z06 cats

I've got SW headers to tips. Running their metal matrix hi flo cats and have no smell and only a very slight loss in hp at the wheels. When I port the top end and retune again, I won't even see the impact of running cats.. slight drone at 1800 under light load. No big deal. Love the exhaust note on the SW system.
