Plenty of Z06 Tis in the for sale section and most are very good deals.

They look better and they have a little bit better sound.

I recently put a like-new Z06 cat-back system on my '03 Coupe. The difference in idle sound is slight, it does have a bit more tone at full throttle. Some people like the looks of the large round tips over the stock oval tips, I can't decide which I prefer. As the other members said, the change drops 20+ pounds and that amounts to a couple free horsepower. That, along with the no-rust situation, was why I did it. In fact, by going to my Z06 cat-back, ditching the damn run-flat tires, and going to a slightly lighter battery, I figure the car is now 50 pounds lighter.

I am at over 600 rwhp with stock ti's, they flow as well as any aftermarket catback that I am aware of and sound and look great. I went from Borla stingers back to the ti's

A great option
Putting the Z06 TI's on a regular C5 are a great option. Buying a used set and paying for the shipping is still cheaper than buying an aftermarket system. Like other posters have mentioned, the titanium will never rust. It is lighter and sounds a lot better. I like it all around, idle, at speed, and of course at WOT... DO IT!!!!!!
