2013 z06 exhaust question
My 2013 just has 4 tips and I don't see any butterfly valves.
Is/was this some option?
Love how mine sounds btw. Stock all.

You should also have 4 cats...the 12/13 models all came that way. Many buy a Corsa mid-pipe specifically for 12/13 cars that eliminates the two rear aft cats...which is essentially how the 06-11 vehicles all came.

False alarm, it's stock. Butterflies stuck open (fuse pulled?). I could not see it clear on the transport truck. In it's new garage now waiting for cleaning.
Actually glad I can tone it down, it is droning pretty loud on the freeway just cruising in 6th.
Where is the fuse for butterflies? Pass kick panel? Which # & size?

I usually run mine with the fuse pulled. It has a slight drone on the freeway but I don't do a whole lot of freeway cruising so it's not enough to bother me. It's very easy to pop the fuse back in for when I need it to be quiet.

On the freeway under 85mph I just leave it in 5th gear. That takes away the drone and lets the car run in the 2500rpm range where it is happy and not lugging.

I love running with the pipes open, but I don't recall any drone. Probably just annoys the average driver around me, but to me it's like an old mid-year or C4 with side pipes. Mine retains the stock 2012 exhaust (OE from the manifolds back, but a Corsa X-pipe is on the list,) and I have a mild 116 TSP cam.
