Arrow Anybody From HOUSTON know this car?

I've just been wondering what the hell exactly did the White Corvette do to his exhaust in this vidd??!-Or if anyone knows the owner(anything!) , That things' a BEAST! It's on the [Best Video Ever! Houston] done in (obv.) Houston by Cammed03SVT, It's a badass vid, and some great cars, but I want to know what this cat was runnin' as far as like head, cats, pipes, etc.?! That shyts insane! It shows to be backing out of a garage like at around 30 sec. into the (6:00 min. long) video. Also-if anyone knows what would make my WS6 sound like this, lemme' know plse...appreciate it!- this is first post and i'll be here for a while..thnx for your help/replies...ANY ideas will be more than i got
It's an old vid. but badass!

Without seeing the video, I'd guess Garett's ZO


Just saw this post: "G-Z06 is done...for now" Is that the one??

The above is just a link to the post where i found it several months ago, sorry for all of this confusion, I just can't get my cpu to post it how i want (must be screwin' something up.. ) but that's about as close to it as I can get- It should just bring you to the page and you can d-load the vid from there, if you haven't seen it, you'll want too! once again, thanx for all the help (sorry again-for confusion as well) lol...(but no, ..really)

At that time I beleive it was still Joe Knitter's car? (KWKNES) plates. That was just shortly after we had finished the 408 install. The exhaust system consisted of Kooks 1-7/8" headers, 3" x 3" x-pipe and a Corsa Tiger Shark cat back.

The only way you will get your F-body to sound like this is if you somehow dualed out your exhaust and adapted a C5 Corsa exhaust underneath the rear.

ooh-makes some since now (408) ...Thnx for post,--just a thought: what was the size engine that z06's (pre-C6's 427) had? like I know the c5's had 350's, and I just really never thought about it before now, guess i'm more of an f-body guy (although i'm driving a yllow/whte top a4 c5 today-go figure?) and is the white car actually a z06 and I didn't realize from vid?

so... basically question is shifted to not only what he's got, but if the corsa is actually possible for f-body? or, if there is something else out there that will give me the "i'm gonna kill your family" lope and idle...lol any ideas? (cam is going in too- but that's next topic after this one) bec. I'm prolly fixn to get my shyt together and start ordering stuff in like 3-4 weeks. Kooks are prolly bought first, but not sure what brand x-pipe to get (ideas on what sounds the meanest?), and the muffler is still a WTF if I can even do it...

This is how it sounds open exhaust.

Click Video 1 and Video 2 in my sig.

These were the last video's of the car with the old setup.


It is a completely different setup now.

- Engine swap with all new misc parts.

- The wheels are swapped.

- Its lower

- The back panel is painted Sprial Gray

- Spec 5 clutch

- Cowl hood

- And It is now sporting a Twin Turbo Setup with a 9:5:1 comp ratio.

I've found a place in Texas(you guys have more than likely heard of it)- Texas-Speed.com, that offers an "Rumbler" kit-stating it comes with a(n) X-pipe, and it's not too bad on $$,so with Kooks headers, this xpipe, and I have no real ideas yet as far as cat's back, except for Corsa makes a kit for F-body's, and I haven't got a clue as if it will actually sound like the way I want it to in the end...Any ideas? I'm also going to buy a cam and the usual bolt-ons, but does anyone know about this corsa exh. kit? (I.E.- will the cats actually RedUCE the sound of it (the direction I don't want to go), Because I want to hear it-Just like this Z06---?
