Would you get them if CHevy would fill in the rear fascia?
Yes and the reason is a good one.
Due to the trannie and rear end design they pump heat onto each other but to make it worse the exhaust pipes are both dumping heat onto the rear drivetrain making a bad problem even worse.
My MN6, I have added a G.M trannie cooler ( is lousy designed) and can tell now how often just the trannie is getting too hot due to cooler pump coming on and off.
In Open Road Racing, those with a Z06 have a trannie temp idiot light that comes on though not till 270 degrees, anyhow mine and very Z06 had very high trannie temps in the last ORR and rear end is as bad.
If the mufflers were also moved away then would leave clean room to install coolers for both trannie and rear end.
