So far my 2001 Z06 with Halltech T1-C and FLP totally bolt on headers and x pipe and high flow cats runs great! I threw a vinci 178 degree thermostat in to try and hold (maintain more oftern) the coolant temperature closer to what I believe to be the optimum level at 187 degrees..
I am very pleased with the results to date.
I don't want to go totally radical with the car as I believe the siren calling of the C6 high performance version due to arrive in 2006 MY will have my name on it! LOL
So....
With an estimate of normal range on rwhp of stock 2001 Z06's hitting 330rwhp to 341rwhp .
I"m betting the nominal investment of intake and headers..I'm estimating power in the range of 350 to 370rwhp..
Of course I could be wrong and down the road I'll probably grab a dyno day at a local tuner to see whats what..
As an owner of these fine cars..I can truly say..these minor mods have increased the enjoyment I get from the car..
The intake with the air bridge that also includes the piece between the MAF and the Throttle body..that runs around 350 ..the instalation takes all of twenty minutes if that..
the headers a complete bolton affair..takes anywhere from four hours to eight hours depending on the expertise of the installer...and yes you should use a lift if possible.
The beauty of the FLP system is that is allows complete reversal to stock using the non altered stock parts should you decide to return the car to the dealership for a trade in on a C6...Z06 or whatever they call it.
Same goes for the intake..20 minutes and your good to go!
How does the car sound with the headers..I would use the term more refined..more exotic but definitely not louder..at least not until your in the very upper region of the rpm band..
When you climb to 4500 or 5500 rpms..Watch out! The delight you hear is something to behold..A real treat to an automotive enthusiasts ear..
