FCOR-0431 Billy Boat C6 Corvette Stainless Steel Xpipe
Marking the sixth generation of its legacy, the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette delivers more power, passion and precision to reach a new standard of performance car excellence. It will be introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2004, with production slated to begin in the third quarter. A convertible version will be unveiled in the first half of 2004, with its production beginning in fall 2004.
Z51 Performance Package. The Z51 Performance Package brings Corvette Coupe performance very close to the same level as the widely admired Z06. The Z51 offers more aggressive dampers and springs, larger stabilizer bars, and larger, cross-drilled brake rotors for optimum track performance capability while still providing a well-controlled and comfortable ride. Extensive racetrack testing reveals that a C6 equipped with the Z51 suspension almost equals the lap time of a C5 Z06 - marking a major advance in the overall performance of a Corvette Coupe by nearly approximating the extreme performance capabilities of the vaunted Z06 at a remarkable value
Corvette engineers thoroughly revised the Tremec gear box and added proprietary technology not offered on other automakers' high-performance transmissions. The six-speed transmission also has revised gearing when selected with the Z51 performance option. With the Z51, the Tremec is tailored with numerically higher gears to improve acceleration. Also, a lower fifth gear gives the Z51 better fuel efficiency and a higher top speed than base models. To increase durability in sustained high-speed situations, the Z51 and the base European manual-transmission models have a transmission cooler.
An "X" Pipe design is a lot more than just welding two 90 Degree Elbows together - by the way, we are not using two 90 Degree Elbows. We are utilizing different in and out angles. This aids in both flow and design flexibility which is important to you. Many "X" pipes on the market are nothing more than two 90 Degree Elbows. No research was put into their product. They just wanted to have an "X" available to sell to make money. We, of course, want to make money too, but our primary interest is in REAL Performance products. By-the-way, elbows just welded together without the re-enforcing will work for a little while, then start cracking and leaking.
Undoubtedly you have heard claims of 30 to 50 horsepower gains by some. Such large gains are not typical, but can be achieved under certain circumstances. Typically, gains will be less. So be cautious of sites making wild claims. All "X" Pipes are NOT the same. Some are nothing more than just two 45 degree elbows cut and welded together with no thought given to flow, fit nor longevity.
