Long tubes going on my Z06!
WEll I'm having long tubes installed on my Z06 in the next 2 weeks, I'm going with either QTP or the supermaxx(i'm deciding tomorrow). I'm also going with high flow cats and an x-pipe. I have two questions, 1) Does any one else here have this setup and what kind of power gains should I expect?(current mods in sig) And 2) I know there really isn't anything to gain by going with a aftermarket catback over my stock ti exhaust, but I don't know if it will be aggressive enough for me? I;ve looked everywhere for a clip of a Z06 with headers and stock exhaust, but I can't find one? Anyone have one or know where I can find one?

My Z06 has TPIS LT headers and rest of exhaust system is stock. The exhaust note changed very little, only gained 11 rwhp and 8 rwtq. I am planning to install electric cutouts and that should help some.

I picked up about 18 rwhp from the LG headers on my Z06 with a B&B bullet cat back. Just to give you and idea of some header numbers.

Keep in mind I have the Dynatech Supermax stainless header system on sale and ready to ship. The install is very clean and easy, and the power gains are great also. Let me know if I can help!!
