As for the SW X, I thought I had bought what Paul, and Pete, and Al had gotten. When I got the Xpipe, which came within 2 days of ordering, I saw the baffles insides and I have posted pics of them (http://zr1.net/forum/showpost.php?p=126147&postcount=67). Baffles have since been tossed. Al installed my Xpipe in place of the MFlow X+resonator setup. While he was at it, he removed the baffles. A true ZR-1 brudda!
So I now have Watson 1 7/8" headers followed by the SW X and backed by MFlow mufflers. It is louder than before but not harsher. It is also DEEPER. You can hear the cams now. Not radical but a definite beat to them. At cruise with a steady or slight off throttle, its pretty mellow. I can hear the radio fine. There is some drone when motor is under load at 1500rpm. However, my plan is to out in 3.90s or 4.10s in rear which should help especially since my 19" Z06 wheels reduce the current 3.45 gear to about a 3.00.
Still investigating Z06 tip+flappers on Dynomax UltraFlows.
Dom,

Thanks for sharing and great info. It sounds like you might have the perfect set up or getting there. I think I'm stuck with my B&B mufflers and definitely will get an X pipe without baffles be it B&B or SW. I don't want to try any of the others and looking for a direct fit. This is good news (not about the baffle).
