How I Made My C7 Z06 Supercharger WHINE Like Crazy!
Просмотров 5 тыс.28 дней назад
In this video I will show you how to make your C7 Z06 supercharger whine much louder! This is a very easy 20 minute mod you can do by simply replacing the lid and taking off some things underneath the hood. Chevy tends to quiet down the supercharger by a lot by adding sound deadening inside the LT4 supercharger lid. By replacing the lid, you allow more air flow inside and removes the deadening ...

C7 Z06 - 3 Year Long Term Ownership - POV & Thoughts!
Never take off the traction control. It will kill you or wreck your car
Nice review! I love my '19 2LZ manual and my '24 Z06/Z07, both for different reasons. For $60-$80k, it is an amazing car that does so much right.
2019 3lz auto here, very well built car. we do enjoy our 24 z06 as well but something to be said about front engine raw american muscle sound and feeling that the C7 series has while still being comfortable compared to the C6.
Thanks for the honest insight on your video. Im looking to buy a C7Z as soon as I find one with the right options and mileage and this video helps.
Ok, and on my daily driver 52,000 mile manual C7 Z06, I get over 40,000 miles on my Michelin AS run flats. Have only replaced the tires once since new.
Damnnn what do you do for a living haha
On long drives with a constant speed for long periods, I love 7th gear. Please stop saying that it will never be used.
I drive my 17 z M7 daily. Unless it’s cold as frogs nipples like right now. Witch highly sucks ! I need the rush of that LT4 after couple days without. Fast cars are like drugs to me.
you vette has a irritanting sound. change for turbo.
This guy went to the bar to buy cigarettes and never came back...
I absolutely love my C8 but watching this vid makes me miss my previous 4 Vettes that were all manuals. The C8 is an amazing daily driver and the tech has definitely spoiled me, but I often wonder about getting a C7 Z or Grand Sport convertible with a manual for a more visceral experience.
@@makstone the tech is definitely 10x better and super nice to have. If you get a chance try and drive a c7z it’s absolute pure fun. Still has good tech but not as good as the c8. Really hard to beat a C8 as a daily
First time seeing that gold color on the C7 generation. What does Chevrolet title that paint code as ?!? 🚘🔍 - 💯
It’s a vinyl wrap! Satin frozen gold chrome
How do you find this baby sounds when you're cruising around in lower RPM? Obviously, this car sounds amazing during acceleration/deceleration, but in some videos, when someone is just holding ~2k RPM's, it sounds a bit buzzy. Like do you have concerns taking it on a long road trip?
@@amiller2121 it’s really quiet if you just cruise and can hardly hear it (especially in stealth mode). For long trips it’s no issue to me.
Cro, what are your thoughts on the AWE
@@drewmorey6070 tough to say because I never heard it in person but a lot of other corvette owners seem really happy with it. Can’t go wrong either way
@ thanks for your reply! I found you in the r/corvette forum and have been watching your channel! Keep Up the great content, you have a beautiful car!
Am I the only one not totally impressed with the exhaust note ? It doesn’t sound as good as a Ferrari , it sounds more like synthesized sound. Better than a base c8, but still not as good as a 458.
@@tyson527 it sounds a lot better in person to be honest, the mic doesn’t pick it up as well. 458 does sound really damn good though
The Michelin Pilot cup series is super soft and grippy so yes they do wear out faster.
@@glennoropeza3545 yeah despite the wear, they’re my favorite tire.
That car has just the right amount of Tech in it.. I can't stand the newer cars out now with all the Ipad screens.. I rented a car a month ago and barely knew how to get the heat going or work the radio.. It's nuts.. I'm not young anymore so I never really cared for them turning our cars into PC's on wheels.. But it is what it is if you want the latest and great cars out.. Cars are soo fast these days too. When I was 16 we had the Foxbodys and the C4's.. We thought 225 to 350 HP was power back then.. It's crazy how much power people can get now straight from the factory.. Oh and LOL I like cars that kind of scare me too.. That's the best way to say it really, and I think that's why people love the manuals soo much.. When you have a manual with a lot of power it feels different and a little scary ever time.. It's not like a new 10 speeds where it's the same old thing Bah, bah, bah, bah, bang bang bang into gear.. You just mash the pedal and hold the wheel straight it kind of boring to me.. But don't get me wrong I know these auto's are nasty fast and that's why people love them. There's nothing touching these new DCT's but the Manuals are just soo much more fun to drive.
Save The Manuals, Great Video.. And the car sounds great. I have a 17 Manual Coyote GT and didn't want to spend a ton on a Cat Back, So I went with an Xpipe and an Axle back and my car sounds great now.. And nothing is cheap on any of these cars out these days.. My God they wanted like $1,800 to 3,000 for a Cat back. Car parts are next level when it comes to the cost on these things.. Oh and I have the Infamous MT82 so I know all about that notchy feeling in the gears.. But I managed to find a decent trans fluid for my Gearbox and did a few cheap supporting Mods around it. And now she feels butter smooth once she's all the way warmed up. I'm sure there's ways to smooth yours out too. But anyway great car and great video.. Oh yeah and I couldn't imagine having a seventh gear, i'm always hanging out in 5th as it is.. LOL..
Yeah 7th gear shouldn’t be here haha. I’m always in 5th too, rarely ever 6th. I tried different trans fluid but unfortunately no difference smoothing it out. Thanks for watching!
2:55 Redline D4 ATF helps the shifting
6:32 is it just me or do I just see a lot of people making videos with C7 with that weatherstrip by the seatbelt retraction slot dam near always folded in on itself? My OCD is going crazy over this 😂
I just noticed this lol
@crointhevette once you see it, you can't unsee it. you're gonna see it in like every other C7 video 😆
Great video. What color is your Z06 and is it a wrap?
It’s a wrap called satin frozen gold Chrome
Thanks 👍
I may be in the minority, but I can’t stand the crotch rocket sound of the C8 Z06! 🤮
I have a 2016 manual ZO6 rag top and I love it. Moving from NJ to Florida is a joy driving this car all year around. Great video, my friend. God bless!!!
Great video! I’m going on 5 years with my 2016 Z06 7M! What lid did you install? Mine has 0 whine noise
He has the weapon x lid
I'm enjoying your channel,...I have a 19 z06-manuel.transm..stoc motor -love it!!!..my question is...why shood it matter if Manuel or automatic??..the transm. are in the back of the car. it does not touch the engine...also the coolers are in the rear.
noticed this is in CA..we are in Rialto....
@@scottbarker9058 it’s because the torque converter and multi plate clutches produce signifying heat under heavy load. The manual doesn’t have a torque converter. But honestly you won’t have any issues unless you track it very aggressively for a consecutive amount of laps, and even then it’s not guaranteed to happen.
Usually i think gold on cars is tacky, but the way you did the color on that Z06 is clean AF 👍
@@SpeedyStrika thanks! I opted satin since gloss would of been too tacky imo
You would buy it again because you don’t know better
@@ruststar not true, I purchased so many cars the last few years from the new Supra, GT4, C8Z, etc and it’s an incredible car.
what is your camera / lens set up?
@@itsraheem DJI Osmo Pocket 3
@ that camera is a beast
2015 ,7 sp .. ❤️❤️❤️ ,42k miles
I pay $180 for an oil change I do my own before but drive Way down hill crumb my front splitter now take to Chevy shop One year to oil change that okay one year I love my 2019 Z06 z07parket and my 2013 ZR1 cannot wait for summer enjoy 😅
@@SrunMournghow do you like your c6 zr1 versus the z06?
If I could I would definitely buy one
When is the cam going in, brother? Cam that beast. 👍💪🦅🇺🇸
@@crodrc51able I wish but I’m in California unfortunately 😖
Does the xpipe pass CARB? Asking bc I want one but live in NorCal and thought the cat delete would be an issue. Thx
@@G00013 yeah it passes smog without issue the car has 4 cats and you’re only deleting the secondary cats. The secondary cats aren’t monitored by the ECU either so it won’t throw any CEL codes
nice video.. lo 2019 z05-m7ve my
Great sound! Do you notice any extra exhaust fumes by deleting the secondary cat?
@@cozmicsoull not at all. Just ever so slightly only on cold start but stationary and stop lights nothing at all.
Thorough & concise and informative 👌 👍. Great review..Great car!😊
Excellent review!! Thank you for being REAL (Pros/ Cons)!😊
@@huntman9521 thanks for watching! 🙏
I have a 2015 z06 manual. Zero issues. Beast of a car. Love it.
@@martyberger7168 enjoy it in good health! What color is yours?
@ Daytona sunrise orange metallic
저도 한국에서 2015 zo6 manual. 마스터실린더 한번 바꿔주고 다른 문제는 없습니다 74000km 주행중
Our guy Cro with another dope C706 vid…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@252StandUpGuy you know it! 🫡 🏎️
We appreciate your transparent and passionate content bro. Plus you don’t gate keep great information from those in the market for c7z06 like myself. You’re a real one 💯
I go from 5th to 7th gear above 65 mph. Never use 6th. Seems to save a little amount of gas.
I have 2 C7Z06 cars and never ever have an issue with putting fuel in, just like every other car. Sounds like operator error.
Many owners I spoke with had the same issue. I suppose it depends on the car. What year is yours?
@ 17 and 19. I also had a 16 and never had the problem
Never had the issue with my 14 stingray but once in a while it happens with my 16 Z06. I believe it depends on the pump.
I think manual fits the grand sport better, it’s just a lot of damn car for a stick, can’t really row through the gears
@@SamKGarage it is a lot of torque for sure but it’s super fun. Doesn’t feel “too much” tbh
My 2016 7-speed was stolen at the Dolphins game, so I know about buying it again I now have a 15 with 14k miles. The car is amazing, and virtually impossible to replace It is simply the best car you can buy with a manual transmission
@@InvestBetter. wow sorry to hear that I’m shocked despite it being a manual that it was stolen. Glad you got a replacement at least
Exotic growl???
When filling the z06 point the nozzle at the passenger door , the downpipe is curved 😊
Interesting, I’ll try that out
I have a 2019 C7 I love it ! I had a transmission shutter and they did the triple flush, and that took care of that. I don’t like the act of fuel management, so I disabled it. But I really love my car.
Glad you got it taken care of. You shouldn’t have any more issues especially that it’s the last model year! Any mods you plan on adding?
@ hopefully a supercharger one day
I have a 2016 A8 with 50K miles. One cracked wheel for me as well. I put a Factory Reproduction wheel on. Far less expensive than OEM and still good 4 years later. I never felt good about turning the gas nozzle upside down but have been able to fill if I just slow up the flow a bit. The gas issue also doesn't occur at every pump. I am eyeing C8Z's but am wondering if I'd miss the 650 TQ my C7Z has. Also, do you have to run >4K rpm all the time in the C8Z?
@@Rob9mm I didn’t miss the torque with my c8z but you can definitely feel it in the lower gears (usually where you city drive). Once you get up to speed and onto the highway they feel the same. It climbs up the rev range very quick so under full throttle it doesn’t feel any slower than the c7z. You don’t need to be over 4 k rpm all the time.
@@crointhevette Thanks! May just have to get one.
Great job brother👍 awesome C7 good job with your presentation 🇺🇸💪👍😎
@@michaelanderson5975 Thanks! 🙏
I agree that it's really hard to find a car that matches the rawness of the C7. Especially with a manual. Thanks for the video!
@@amiller2121 thanks for tuning in! It’s definitely tough to find a car like the c7 dollar per performance
Chevy told me 225 for an oil change 😂
@@kylesosnowski7330 wow that’s a lot. I think it’s dealer or location based. If you’re here in California, Abel Chevrolet has the best pricing I’ve ever seen. Super reasonable
60 bucks in my garage on jack stands. Mobil 1 dexos 1. Cheap and easy.
@ mobile 1 is the best and super easy indeed
@@kevingulden778260$? I own a 2018 z06 and change the oil myself, it takes Mobil 1 0w40 and even buying from amazon it still costs me anywhere from 100-130$ for 10 quarts plus a filter?
