My new Akrapovic exhaust on my ZO6!

Overall I am happy with the look and sound of this system. I thought that the tips were A.) a little big and B.) stuck out a bit too much, but the carbon fiber tips on a black car kinda blend in, glad I did not get the polished tips, I think it would be too much. As far as how far they stick out, they really don't seem to be that bad. They still kinda blend into the rear of the car.

A little drone in the lower rpm's: 1500-1700 or so, at about 1800 rpm you are driving out of it.

Nice exhaust note. Very deep and it has a lot of bass. I could not believe it when I first fired it up...I was like, where did all this bass come from?! When the valves/flaps are open the ground shakes. Mucho bass and sound!







A few pics from today!

Idle clip sounds like crap...hard to get the sound with my point and shoot.

a bit too large for me. Might look better if tucked up higher. The right side is lower than the drivers side, needs some adjustment.
"love the sound"

Thanks all! Yep, I know, I still need to tweak it a bit to get it just right. The tips are freaking huge...almost too darn big. But, they look OK to me now...getting used to them.

See ya!

Not really. I wish they were not there sometimes...kinda goes with my red and black theme though. Some of the other systems have a white instead of red logo--glad mine are red!
