Will ZL1 have Sound Tube similar to SS?

AbsolutHank · 08-17-2016, 07:50 PM

If so, can we expect to actually hear some blower whine?

Just go listen to a Z06 vs Stingray.... It's a massive diff
Sounds like a turbine starting up then the biggest rumble you will hear in your life ...

It's awesome and I expect nothing less on the Camaro ZL1 vs SS...

Well, I meant the sound tube on the intake tube that sends engine sounds to the passenger compartment.

No sound tube

Per several ride along videos of the new ZL1 by media members, I only hear alot of supercharger whine inside.

I read somewhere I think that the ZL1 will have a small supercharger than the Z06 but will higher RPMs, this might affect the sound. I have an old school GMC belt drive blower, and to get more whine I would over tighten the drive belt. Sounded cool when cruising.

It's the exact same motor as Z06 so same supercharger ... Same output ...

I would not expect to hear much blower whine. The Z06 and CTS-V have nearly zero. I never hear the blower even with the exhaust in quiet mode. Also my Gen5 ZL1 had no blower whine with the stock CAI. I bought a RotoFab CAI so I could have whine and it sounded epic.

My 2 cents is stock no whine but loud a$$ exhaust. My Z06 has scared more than one person at startup.

I did not see a sound tube on the ZL1 this weekend @ LGR. But those were pre-production vehicles. LT4 on the ZL1 does have a larger cover vs Zo6 LT4 and ZL1 LT4 does have Tri-y headers whereas the ZO6 LT4 does NOT.

So, interestingly, with a taller lid for better cooling and tri-y headers...why isn't the ZL1 making more than 650? Even if it's just a hair more, any efficiency improvements should yield slightly higher hp right?

Corvette owner damage control is more expensive than a better tune.
