Ah, finally took the car out of winter storage. I installed B&B PRT exhaust and I'm definitly liking the howl. A little too much interior drone from 1500-1800rpm though, so I'll be getting a cabin partition.
It has LG longtube headers, high flow cats, TPS cam, intake, and a tune.

I didn't take any installation photos unfortunatly. I had a lift, so it was pretty simple.
The stock exhaust on C5 Z06's is made of titanium and is not very restrictive. There are plenty of 600whp+ cars running the stock titanium system, so aftermarket exhaust on a Z06 is basically for sound only.

This is what the aftermarket exhaust looks like uninstalled:

1700rpm at 110km/h plus good aerodynamics mean the engine's hardly working on the highway. I'm blown away by the fuel economy too. Even in town actually, it's not much worse then my focus SVT.

Thanks! I couldn't even hear the lope with the stock exhaust. Now I wish I'd gone with a more aggressive cam, more lope and more hp!!
