C5 Z06 STS Exhaust Baffles? I made some baffles to slip fit into my pipes with the tips. I haven't nailed it, but, they seem to work pretty well with about 30% less noise. If I did nail it can someone give me a idea if the extra backpressure would do?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I guess that means nothing and I'm sure less power and richer fuel, but still hopefully won't blow anything. That answer doesn't clarify that for a turbo system novice like myself!

Interesting! I was going to shoot them this morning but it is to cloudy up here in Oregon right now.
My tips are welding to a pipe connector and clamped on to the rear pipes.
The baffles fit inside the pipes and are held in by the tips.
My baffles are 2-1/4" x 1-7/8" pipe connectors. The 1-7/8" front edge is bent-in 4 places sym 5/16" with one 3/8" hole drilled directly behind the bend and one more 3/8" hole drilled behind the bend at the 2-1/4" to 1-7/8" narrowing for a total of eight 3/8" holes.
I also drilled four more 5/16" holes at the narrowing between the other holes.
All trying to bounce the noise around in the tips!

30% quieter, as I said. On the freeway I lost no fuel economy criuzing so it's getting enough air at low rpm. I probably hit PE mode a couple of times, but like I said not at WOT. I'M SCARED because I just don't have the experience with mixing up exhaust with a Turbo sucker like this.

No it's just a guess! But since all you nice guys haven't stepped up and warned me I'm also guessing my system is probably safe plugging it up a bit.
Thanks! Thanks!
