Too damn quiet at this point. Its a very light exhaust. I think its 17lbs lighter it says over stock Z06 catback. I felt no seat of the pants pick up lol. The tone at idle is decent but when you get on it, in the upper RPM's it doesnt get deeper IMO. I honestly think they're product is way over priced.

Cool28- its a company called "Stainless Works". Not a place in York LOL! You can find them online and buy junk for your car. I'll be looking for a different catback for the car down the road here and sell this one.

It sounded good down low...nice rumble. Personally, I'd wait to see what the exhaust sounds like with the headers on before ditching them for something else.

Then add a couple more bucks if you want the Carbon Fiber tips, it'll help shave off a couple more oz's.
