  • Y87 vs Stock z28?

    Are they the same?

    Except for the inlet and the type of pipes in the back of course... But the muffler itself?

    Got a pic of a stock Z28 muffler? I remember what my stock Y87 muffler looked like. I might be able to tell by looking at them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

      the V8 exhausts are supposed to flow better than the V6; if you recall the camaro RS and 'bird gt models that SLP put out, the "performance exhaust" (V8 to you and me) was supposed to be worth 5 extra hp. i know they sound very different (Y87 and V8) so i wouldn't be surprised if their claim was true.

      i've said it about 100 times before and i'll say it 100 times more: the sound from the V8 systems on the V6 is not quite [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] but definitely [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

          You have to change the steering rack to a Y87 rack if you flash the computer to Y87 specs?
