ZL1 vs ZR1
One of the ZR1's most amazing aspects is it's exhaust note. Will the ZL1 sound as good or even better? Or will it be on the quieter side?

i wouldn't take anything as final until car comes out. the zl right now is just for show and is not finished by any means.

It wouldn't surprise me...the car isn't "done" yet. So if it DIDN'T have the final exhaust on...which I'm not convinced -- please link me ....the 'final' exhaust will sound better! ...what a thought!!! Quote:
HA!! I agree!!! "If God cleared his throat, it would sound like that" If I remember what I heard at the last Fest correctly....I like the ZL1s exhaust better than the ZR1....haven't heard one in a while to be sure... Online videos and sound bites are complete garbage compared to the real thing, there in front of you. But the ZL1's voice was simply to die for.... |

Anyone know what brand or type of exhaust ZL1 has?
The SS cans were really weak, but still had a decent stealthy growl. Even if they up'd the tone a bit on the ZL1 they probably won't go much different. I really like the sound of Vettes' and there's not many vehicles out there that sound as good as the ZR1 or Z06 so would be interesting to see if the ZL1 can compete with that.

Basically, there is a single muffler with two routes for the exhaust to take. One is actually muffled, and the other is as straight through as you can get from the factory. It's a wisper away from being as loud and crazy as if there were no mufflers at all. So, it sounds "tame" (which is a misleading word with regards to the ZL1...) when idling, or cruising down the highway. This is to control drone and drive-by volume, etc... But when you step on it, or when it's intially turned on...there are butterfly valves in two of the tips (one on each side, which is why there are four total) that open up and allow the exhaust to take the most free-flowing path, the straight section. This frees up horsepower, and of course, volume. |

No, there's no feature off the showroom. For about $100, though...there's a remote system that replaces the fuse for the valves, and gives you full control. It's supposedly rumored that it can be "homelinked"..... ...I can just see pushing that button up above like I'm in a jet and "VROOOOMM".... |
