A day late,El,but thanks anyway.

Dale,Chris,& Pat made up some plumbing so that the
cut-outs would clear the DTE struts.I'll pick up the car on Thurs.
Pictures to follow.

After looking at the cutouts on your car, their size will probably cost you some hp, they are just too small, now DR. if you want to gain some real power put LG long tubes on the car with high flow cats, you would probably pickup 35 -50 hp due to your mods. One more thing, a little less air pressure in your rear tires. ;) :)

I hope poor old Richie has some friends in high places,,,he may to need to call on them for some help.

I think Richie is going to get into a lot of trouble with those cut outs. He is going to go on midnight spins...blasting thru small towns and villages....waking up entire neighborhoods with a single blast of that throttle.

What a blast. I can't wait to hear those things bark. :D :D :D :D :D

The high flow cats will only cost you about 5-7 hp, if he does not drive the car daily anymore that would be the way to go, but I will miss seeing him driving in the snow with the Z06. ;cs ;cs

Just picked up car.As Ellis has said so many times,Dale & his shop
do beautiful work.Really looks like it came from the factory-clean welds,painted plumbing,convenient switch,etc.

Now as to the car.Not bad at idle,but as the RPMs increase,the
noise & resonance inside the car could get annoying real quick if
the cut-outs were open for an extended time.No surprise.Bottom line is I'm really satisfied with the job. I recommend,if you are thinking of adding the DTE struts,do it at the same time.
