Default What kind of Catback is this?

The chrome tips say "bullet" at each end but theres no company name on the muffler or anything? I was told its a flowmaster but there company logo is nowhere to be found. I'll try to get a pic up today.

Its blank thats why it trips me out. Its a much more aggressive tone than any other stock Z28. Do those tips look familiar to anyone?

Looks like a flowmaster with some tips with the name "Bullet" etched in them. You can tell its a flowmaster from the discoloration of where the chambers are located on the muffler.

Only one owner previous to me and he swore it was a flowmaster setup, I just remember seeing the flowmaster logo on the tips of every flowmaster catback.

So is it stock or aftermarket? I'm seeing both opinions? If its stock then I guess I'll see even better gains with my new duals

it still sounds more aggressive than any other stock Z I've ever heard?

Whether its a stock muffler or a chokemaster, you'll still gain a good bit when you go to duals.

Stock muffler? LOL It's a Flowmaster 80 series crossflow with some aftermarket tips. That's why it sounds much better than any other LS1's with stock OEM mufflers
