Air Box and Exhaust Power

[reubenmc]

How much more horse power does the zo6 air box give you over the regular C5? And the same question about the titanium exhaust. I know its lighter but how much more hp does it produce over the coupe and convertable exhaust?

Hi there,
Slightly more power, at best.
If there was some reasons for a change, the Z airbox lid would give better air flow at the higher rpm range over the stock c5 box.
The only reason for the titanium exhaust was as you have stated, weight.
Allthebest, c4c5

The 02,03 airbox on the ZO6 are very decent. There is forever the airbox debate. When people are changing to aftermarket, they really aren't seeing any drastic improvements and some none at all. I think a ZO6(02 or later) airbox would do you well. I honestly dunno about the exhaust.....maybe so. It will at least be lighter than stock C5 and also has a pretty decent sound to it. One of the ZO6 engineers said that they didn't leave too much low hanging fruit on the ZO6. Another words, everything breathes very well and you are not going to gain much with boltons. Headers are probably the biggest bolton power gain.
