I'm not sure whether or not if I even want an aftermarket or Z06 cat-back, because the cost to power gain ratio is so. :nopity Anyway, can somebody tell me just how much (or approximately how much) lighter the Z06 cat-back and\or other "light" after market cat-backs are than stock? :confused:

The Z06 exhaust weighs 16lbs per side according to GM. I weighed mine at 15lbs. a side so its a nice little weight savings. :cheers:

Titanium offers a lower density than steel, and higher strength than either magnesium or aluminum at all temperatures. It reduces the Z06's weight by 17.6 pounds a whopping 50 percent reduction compared to the weight of the stainless steel exhaust system used on the Corvette coupe and convertible. In addition to easing exhaust gas restrictions, reducing mass and looking distinctive, this exhaust system sounds more aggressive than that of the standard Corvette. Considerable time and effort went into the design and tuning of the mufflers to ensure an exhaust note that would be unique to the Z06.
