BLAZE489's GT350 LIFE

[kz]

It says Z28. That's a Camaro. Not corvette or GT350

Next - line - '15 Z06 Corvette. Very interesting cars you had there OP on relatively small event - and if this is was your first event and you were learning stick not long ago - absolutely excellent job.

Need to work those brakes harder. 1.2g is doable.

Looked like a great time, keep trackin.

GT350 gets Loud! , not really just more snap, crackle, and pops. Took out the resonators finally for 2.5'' stainless steel strait pipe, been wanting to do this since the start, but the shop I wanted to go to that everyone recommended is only open 8-5 Monday-Friday. That is when I work so I needed to wait for a slow day at work, it took about 2 hours. The welds are supper clean, the guy put a protective coating over them, and the heat shields are tack welded back on top. I also upgraded the X pipe to a 2.5'' and less restrictive middle cross. For some reason that is the only section that drops to 2.25,'' it is probably because the resonators shrink a little. I looked online and you can see the 350R have a slightly bigger X than us. Normal mode is the same, but 99% of the time I am in sport so it doesn't matter. Only time in normal is when I am backing out of my driveway or there is a cop next to me on the road. Cold start has a much louder bark, my co-works now know exactly when I leave, my neighbors have not said anything yet about it. They are probably use to my mustang so It is probably the same to them, but backing out in normal is more quiet then the mustang so there is that. Sport is slightly louder, if you shift before 3k then it feels the same. When you go further thats when it gets loud. When you WOT, then comes all the snap, crackles, and pops . Going under a bridge or when there are barrier walls on the side of you, people know you are coming. Comparison Videos I will post tomorrow.

I've never seen mention of this before - anywhere.

Same here. I seen the R exhaust in person and they are the same minus the resonator

I guess the silver color makes them look bigger then, but ours do measure 2.25''

Nice , I like the idea of upgrading the size of that pipe. How much did the swap run you ?

$130 for the delete and Strait Pipe, Little more than everyone else but everyone in town goes to this shop. The welds are perfect.

$100 for the X Section

I thought the stock exhaust piping measured 2.75"?? From your pics u can tell the 2.5" straight pipe is slightly thinner than the factory piping.

I've been wanting to do this but haven't found a true 2.75" X pipe.

I told the shop to add strait pipe, I am assuming they used the same size as the rest, why would they use smaller pipe? They brought up about doing the bigger X for my benefit and probably to make more money, but mainly to make the system all the same size. They never asked About 2.5 or 2.75, they used what matched. If they used 2.5 instead of 2.75 that would make no sense, since they brought up the bigger X.

[MENTION=21671]zombiekiller[/MENTION] since you are working on your car exhaust first hand, what are the true dimensions.

The stock GT350s pipes are 2.75".

Yea that's why I'm asking bc it doesn't make sense. Most shops don't carry 2.75" piping which is most probably the reason why they didn't use it or the installer didn't bother measuring and just assumed it was 2.5 like the GT.
