Only 1 psi difference across the cats, no difference in pressure across the resonator, but 4 psi increase in front of the mufflers. A Corsa system would not do anything for the difference in pressure across the cats, and there is nothing wrong with the resonator. So maybe just a muffler change??

Anyone know of a non restrictive replacement muffler for the 1994 ZR1? It appears the the diameter of the pipes leading to the factory muffler is 2 3/4". The LT1 mufflers are 2 1/2" or 2 1/4" and would be no improvement over the stock ZR1 mufflers.

There is nothing wrong with my exhaust system I just want to add a little more performance.

I guess I could just remove the mufflers and replace them with a straight pipe but I am concerned about the noise that would make?

Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this?

You will never notice a performance difference by changing mufflers on any car. Sound difference, yes, but not a noticeable SOTP feel. Listen to us and bolt on some headers and then a nice Corsa or B&B cat back system. Youll have performance along with the sound improvment.
