Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
OK OK...one more part this spring! I just ordered a set of Zip Corvette polyurethane shifter bushings. Nothing crazy or fancy, just like the shifter base bushings on DSM's and Evo's.
Of other interesting note, the C7 Z06 LT4 uses the same exhaust system as the Stingray/Z51 LT1 w/the dual-mode performance exhaust option. Right down to the same part numbers except the exhaust manifolds, which are cast stainless steel vs. cast iron (same design though). There goes any chance of the stock Z06 exhaust being an upgrade for the base and Z51 models. That tells you how well the exhaust system flows though. After the exhaust manifolds, the primary cat downpipes are 3.0", then the X-pipe transitions down to 2.75" after the secondary cats and continues through the axleback.

Can't go wrong with shifter bushings. And comforting to know the stock exhaust is pretty deng good as-is.

If you have ~450whp on the cruise that is roughly what I have so we will need to do some TnC fun!

I think 450whp Dynojet is fairly realistic...I'm down for some TnC action

Looks to be about the same width as the Z06.

Yeah, not a fan of the color or wheels, but the body kit is cool.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
If it was black(or a standard color for that matter) with some nice wheels it would be badass

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
Is it something with the LED tail lights and the camera? Frames per second?
Looks awesome though!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
LED's plus the frame rate is my guess, most C7 videos appear like that for some reason.

Most LED tails look like that in videos. Nice work on the mods!

Thanks. Unfortunately, the ported intake manifold will be coming off. Since the install I've heard a faint whistle on moderate acceleration. I initially thought it may be a slight leak, but I've heard from others that they experience the same thing after installing a ported intake manifold. It would be nice if things like this were disclosed beforehand rather than people not mentioning it until others have trouble. Luckily, I should be able to do the swap myself this time around in under 2 hours. Sticking with my goals: No compromises.
