The 2006 Z06 has an exhaust that fully opens over 3800rpm. It bypasses the mufflers and sounds exactly like that stock. It's almost deafening loud with the stock exhaust

so I guess the vid is quite exciting then, for a stock Z06 to do this to a modded Cobra! that chip+pulley = some big power!! I mean really.

There's already aftermarket exhaust out for a Z06? That was fast.

I don't think you can tell whether the Z06 has an aftermarket exhaust, just by listening to it in the video. Here, try this - turn the volume down a little - does it still sound like an aftermarket exhaust?

oh yeah,

The mustang had: Steeda Intake, MagnaFlow CatBack Exhaust, X-Pipe/No Cats, Diablo PCM, 2.8" Pulley, Lots Of Kenny Brown Suspension & Chassis Goodies - Breytons 03 Cobra http://www.mustangforums.com/showPro...sp?memid=23179

As far as the vette, nothing was mentioned in the whole thread about any mods. I have however been blown past by a c5 zo6 and it sounded a hell of a lot meaner than this z06 did on film. Overall the c6 sounded tame.
