I was thinking of installing the stock ZO6 cans on my '08... I have headers and catted x pipe...did you find a increase in performance with your set-up? I don't think the MOD will change any thing but sound...

you cant tell any difference in performance, its strictly a noise mod lol, but stock z06 bimode are still pretty quite just wanna bump em up a lil bit

I would do it, my mechanic has done quite a few around the San Antonio area and it does make the Z sound lots better and more cost effective than getting ZR1 mufflers or B&B Fuzions for an even better sound

I have a Coupe that had base exhaust, I almost pulled the trigger on the NPP, louder than the Z06 mufflers but not as loud as the ZR1s so I purchased an entire ZR1 exhaust setup and now I have the best factory mufflers GM makes and the modded Z06 mufflers would be my next choice as they are lounder than NPP if I had not run into the ZR1 setup

fyi - some have reported the tone being raspy - not a deep sound, in case that is what your wanting.

Does make it louder and it sounds Good!! I did it myself to my 08 Z06 when I added Header and a cam. It cost me about $50 bucks for the band clamps and less than a $100 to have the mufflers welded back up. Then a can of Flat Black Hi Temp black paint.

I replaced the '07 Z mufflers with '12 mufflers- to me it was surely worth it and then some!!!
