Looking to change the exhaust on my Z06. Had a search through the forums, and it looks like the Borla Stinger cat-back is possibly the way to go. Anyone here got this?
Coming from a bike background, it's sometimes necessary to adjust the fuelling when changing systems; is that the case here as well, or do the electric pixies in the little boxes sort it out for you?

The pixies are supposed to work it out (within about 50 miles), but I have to say that my fuel consumption has plummetted since I had my exhaust "customised". However hard I try I can't better 20mpg now, whereas I could do 30+ before. A trip to the tuner required...

Yup fitted mine last year. No problems with anything else like EMC or whatever. Absoluteley awesome. Burbles like hell. In town you can play a symphony. First time I revved it up I set off somebody's car alarm. To fit you need reasonable ground clearance, I suspect jacks would not do it so you probably need access to a lift. Would suggest you start by dropping the sway bar too.
