Some may recall Part I:

or Part II:

Well, under the Grand Sport again, I found this label which lists the body part as a Z06 component


The more I look, the more I find to be shared from the parts bins

Anyone else been under a Grand Sport and find something interesting??

Another thing I have noticed about Grand Sports we get in our shop - they all seem to get the NPP Crossover Pipe (X-pipes between the catalytic convertors and over-axle pipes).

However, NONE of the cars we get, have the NPP option, as we replace the factory exhaust from the over-axle pipes, back with our own, high(er) flowing system

Just another observation while under some cars this week

Nice finds, GM needs to use the parts bin, not many Z's sold in 2010

My base 08' car had the x-pipe (non-npp).
