Exactly, not to mention you keep the adjustability by maintaining the stock exhaust valves. You can go pretty quiet/tame in stealth/tour valve settings. I was one of the first few with deleted cats on C8Z, I’ve been pushing the mod for awhile, but I do think it might be worth adding SOME kinda exhaust on top for the ultimate sound. I love it but I still feel like it’s missing that F1 style pitch sometimes. Paragon on top of deleted cats might be it.
Brandon I just installed 2M Fabrication bypass pipes with my Ryft paired with the Eventuri and 91mm ported Throttle bodies and all I can say is holy fu%#%n 💩. It’s insane. The explosions are ungodly 💯. There is a little bit of old school muscle car smell from the 70’s but totally worth it 💪🏼
I went with the Cat delete for my 91’ Geo Metro! Now it sounds like a a metal trash can with a wounded cat inside. Pretty close to a C8 if it ran off a cliff 😊👍🏾
Paragon sounds WAAAAAAY BETTER!!! that cat delete just has all the " hey lets straight pipe it!!" Guys wetting there jeans. ....i perfer tuned exhaust with a custum tune😊
Chevrolet spent millions on this car, you will not see any gain switching headers. Maybe more peak but not average. They didn't leave much on the table building this car. I did the s&b intake and what I was afraid of was true, no difference in my 60-130. 7.45 -750 stock and 7.43 to 7.50 with box. The power that is left on the table is in the rpm that they left, this engine is not finished at 8500, most likely would peak at 9200 and 70 hp higher
Yeah I agree I think there is maybe 50/60 hp total on the table on 93 octane . Once we can tune and run e85 w more timing I think there is another 100 hp or so on the table NA
i cant tell if its just the camera but brandons z is so much louder i feel like the black one should be right there with noise but i could barley hear it .
I was going to do the CAT del + Peragon Track setup, great video!!! MD local as well. Recommendations on a shop that I can take mine to get these installed?
That’s where I bought the car from I’m actually in Georgia so honestly I’m not sure. If you were local I would use injected engineering. Would love to hear how they sound together!
Sounds great btw. I'm currently helping a buddy with his z06 and was looking to save him a few k by not doing sport cats. That is as long as I can cheat the cel.
@@vadam7407 I know the feeling. I have a c5 w c6 z ls7 and I LOVE that sound. It was hard to get used to this new feel/sound w the torque curve. I like it now tho but not better it’s just different.
I have not heard a LFA in person but it wouldn’t surprise me. I have heard it is similar to Ferrari 458 which was the engine they supposedly copied but made bigger /better.
LFA has a smoother higher pitch. And doesn’t have the same violent sounds as the C8Z, the pops and bangs etc. it’s more refined. But I’m sure Chevy will take the compliment lol it really is an amazing/interesting time to be a car enthusiast. But I don’t see anyone making an engine like the LT6 again, shit GM probably barely made it in time. Lol I think down the road low mileage C8Zs will be sought after and fetch premiums.
Got a SES light at 400 miles. Deleted, retightened everything and it’s been off since. Looks like probably get a light every 4/500 miles which has to be deleted.
