Sounds great, did you just completely remove the muffler then weld a straight pipe. Are the catalytic converters still on the car ?

Thanks everyone. Just the rear mufflers were removed and a straight pipes added. Cats still there

A little drone in V4 mode but completely tolerable. I've had muffler deletes on other cars where it was extremely annoying. Not the case on the Vette.

Great, now I really want to change out my mufflers for something that sounds better. More money to spend.

Sounds almost like a Borla!! Seriously though, if it sounds this good by just removing the factory mufflers, how come more people are not doing it? What's the drawback to straight pipes? (it would be loud all the time?)

Thanks guys. Believe it or not, it sounds even better in person. My phone didn't really pick up the gurgle very well. And the crackle on de-acceleration is intoxicating.

The wheels are GFG FM-713. 21 front 22 back. Yes I know 22s are huge for this car but the design is so clean, I don't even think most people can tell they are aftermarket.

Sounds great. My '16 came with the non NPP exhaust (never understood why the dealer ordered it that way) That was the only thing I did not like about the car...way too quiet. So, I had a Borla ATAK axleback installed. Love the sound with no drone at cruising speed and like the large 4.5 inch tips vs. the small 3" factory ones.
