Default Intake C6 Z06 vs Catback C6 Z06

SlowVette and myself took a trip up to West Palm Beach planning to run a KB + N20 Cobra and this C6 Z06. Long story short, Cobra had some spark issues and was unable to run, SlowVette has a big CLUNK in the rear when shifting from 1-2, so we did a 2nd gear roll to avoid any further abuse untill he gets the issue taken care of... This was a 60-160, big money race for $20 between myself and the Blue Z06s buddy lol.

I gave the $20 winnings to SlowVette for gas. All in all a fun time, and they should be having a rematch soon from a Dig when SlowVette fixes his rear end issue and the blue Z06 adds more mods...

In car video from the blue Z06 coming soon...

EDIT: SlowVette is the intake Z06, the blue one has catback only... He also just bought the car last week while SlowVette has been racing his for 4 years.

What sort of catback did the Z06 have?

Don't they have 3" exhaust stock? How much can a catback really help, compared to the stock exhaust? Does it replace the muffler with the butterfly valves?

What does an intake change on a C6Z?
