i woulnd think so, the extra power on the z06 comes from more displacement and the intake manifold

I agree weight is the only thing, I asked a chevy dealer in my home town when I was interested in the same thing, they said save your money.

I have heard they have a better intake manifold but are you sure they have more displacment?
If im not mistaken the c5 and c5 z06 are both 5.7L 346 ci.

They are just lighter. ZO6's have Titanium and the stock C5 are Stainless

althought the C5 Z06 cat-backs are indeed free'r flowing; it's not appreciated on a stock LS1.

On a stock LS1 motor, the benefits would be weight savings and cosmetics.

The sound is a little nicer IMO and losing a little weight is always nice! Summer is right around the corner! lol

Pretty cool that you can swap alot of the items off the Z model to the regular, nice easy and relatively cheap way to bump up your C5's overall performance.

Sound stock at idle, but growl at WOT. I have headers and hi-flo cats.
I have them on my C5 that is putting down 556RWHP. No drown inside like with my Borlas...
