Really nice tone ... Fired it up and it Roared into life nice to Blip the throttle ... I've imported 3 Borla Stingers for my previous Vettes ...This looks 'Better' with its reverse Cone SS Tips ....and the Build is Superb! ... And Sounds 'Better'
I was asked what sound I was looking for "Loud but Mellow"
Sure enough it's Spot on! thanks Dex99 and North East Corvette owners for steering me towards AAS they Love American cars .... They Service them ...do engine repairs and can deal with the CANBUS electrical light conversion for Imports ... Worth a call to the Nice folk at AAS with any work required on your car

I'll try and get some pics from 'Underneath' to show the Build tomorrow ...
I'm Delighted with it...... and it's way Cheaper than importing one
For the power Guys they do the 'X' Pipe and Headers which can give 50 - 60 BHP
For me to complete my Project it was 'Looks' and 'Sound' and for that ...it's an absolute Winner!

Well hopefully but I wouldn't hold my breath. Perhaps you should have put the money towards a swamp boat instead lol

Must be devastating for those that have had their homes flooded. I'm quite fortunate as I'm on the top of the Kent downs. What we don't want now is a big freeze. Could you imagine the damage that would do

I should have sorned the Z06, it's been sitting covered up in the garage since November and I've only been out in the other one a few times.

We feel for the Folk down there Brett! ....it's been relentless and not finished yet with a Storm every couple or three days ...yep it would be like the 'End of the World' if a Big Freeze set in... I really hope that does not happen.
Keith used to SORN his Z06 I never have thinking if there's a Dry mild day I would kick myself if I weren't able to get it out
As you say tho ...this year I haven't had it out once other than for its Exhaust then it had to be washed and waffle towel dried as it was like an 'Industrial Tractor' after it's trip to AAS ....LOL

Hi Mark not sure about getting mine out in the wet and Salt...its an expensive ornament most of the time Tho....
Did the Exhaust give you any Ideas for your own with a Local Exhaust Fabricator? What a difference to the Stock even with the Butterflies open this one Sounds Amazing!

Hello Ken. Looking at all the options including removing the rear boxes altogether and having straight through pipes. Jobs this weekend include a set of turn signal mirrors to be fitted along with a bandwidth expander so i can get uk radio stations. Then its off to have the wheels refurbed in shadow chrome.

Sounds Radical 'Straight Thru' on the pics of mine you can see from back quite small Boxes about 12" Deep


Way smaller than than the Stock Ones ... It Sounds 'Right' Mark I can Limp out of my Village before opening her up... Pics are not very good just put the flash on the phone and pointed it under the Car!
Be interested in your Wave Band thing ... If it works can you post make and model and Supplier and price
Cheers ....Roll on some Dry Weather!

That's my second Z06 ... I left the 'Mild to Wild' open and it just doesn't sound like a powerful Supercar ... The Stock Mufflers are Massive and are way to quiet for us Europeans ... The cars have Huge Road Presence and now the Exhaust note to Match!
I had 3 Borlas sent over for my previous Vettes... They are just to civilised! and the Tips are a bit Puny in size ..
Boys and there toys Eh!
