That doesn't sound like the stock exhaust? Has he installed headers?

Yeah, on the intro it says "fuse removed" or something.

Wondering what that is about?

It sounds stock to me. However, I don't think it really sounds that good. With that said, the new Z06 is a heck of a car and probably the biggest performance deal of this century.

My L98 Lingefelter with long tube headers and 3" exhaust with Flowmasters makes that sound like s--t.

Inside the exhaust is a butterfly type thing that opens at a certain RPM. When you remove the "fuse", it opens the exhaust butterfly at idle and makes it sound like that.

Someone needs to manufacture butterflies to unrestrict our exhaust!

When the fuse is removed, it opens the butterfly's just before the mufflers and basically makes it an open exhaust. That's a stock sound.

The butterfly valves are clearly visible in the medial 2 tailpipes, AFTER the mufflers. Not exactly open exhaust, but pretty loud for being factory stock.

I hope to have mine in 6 weeks.
