F1-Inspired Sound. LT6 Performance.
This isn't designed to simply make your Z06 louder.
The AFD F1 system is engineered to emphasize the unique sound characteristics of the LT6's flat-plane crankshaft, producing a sharper, higher-frequency exhaust note as RPM climbs. With the valves closed, the system maintains a more controlled tone; with the valves open, it delivers the aggressive, exotic character the Z06 is known for.

Built Around the 5.5L LT6
The Z06's 5.5L naturally aspirated LT6 V8 revs to 8,600 RPM, giving it an engine character unlike the traditional cross-plane V8.
The AFD F1 Exhaust is specifically designed to take advantage of those high-RPM characteristics and amplify the sharper harmonics produced by the LT6.
The result is a sound profile designed for enthusiasts who want their Z06 to sound more like an exotic race-inspired machine than a traditional American V8.
Choose Your F1 Exhaust Configuration
AeroflowDynamics offers multiple configurations so you can tailor the system to your preferred sound, performance, and driving style.

The valved configuration uses the factory valve actuators, allowing you to maintain adjustable exhaust behavior.
Best for: Street-driven Z06s that want aggressive sound when desired while retaining a more controlled character.
Valved Muffler + Track Section
The best-selling configuration combines the valved muffler system with the optional track section for maximum volume and an aggressive F1-inspired sound.
