zo6 exhaust i was curious. which catback does everyone prefer for their vette? horsepower gained to weight gained or lost. i already made up my mind on kooks headers. those seem like a sure thing. thanks.
Tony Mamo did a test a few years ago between the Z06 cat back and others that have big hp claims. This was on a high hp car too. Differences were about 3 hp so pick your system on sound but watch for drone. The Z06 isn't as loud, but is a heck of lot lighter and doesn't drone at all, period. To me its a no brainer although I do like the deeper sounding exhaust too.

LG headers and B&B bullets here. The catback is only for sound and looks. I have tried my Z06 Ti and the bullets on the dyno and there was no gain between the two.

i try to do that anyways. i had to sell my soul to the devil and my left nut to science just to get the car. my credit was just good enought so that i only had to sign over my heart to the bank. anyways, i kinda noticed that vette parts are a little more pricey.
