Corvette Central Muffler Eliminators
how do these go on? do i have to cut my stock exhaust or can just clamp these on? rear part only. Also can having no to verylittle back pressure affect the engine in a negative way? i.e. valve damage, lack of power, etc?
thanks!
thanks!

They're supposed to replace the muffler. Just take the mufflers off and clamp them in place. The stock mufflers don't have all that much back pressure either, you probably won't notice much difference, maybe a little more sound.

My Right one cracked and fell off the other day. It was ok as the thing fell off when I was pulling out the system for maintenance on the Tranny.
I threw the muffler in the back for when I had a chance to go to my Muffler shop:
Fantasy Muffler-Buena Park...best muffler shop in all Orange County
Anyway....really there was no difference with that portion of the exhaust off or on.
Now with the Headers open, that was whole different sound all together.......LOL

I had a local muffler shop make a set for me for under $100 total. The advantage here is that you will save money and get a better fit that a bolt on kit out of a box from the catalogs.
The price included the chrome tips of my choice plus the pipe and labor. A reputable shop will have a decent selection of either chrome or stainless eliminator tips in different styles. Took maybe 20 minutes for the entire job.

When my 92 was mostly stock I put on a set of elims. Had them fabricated at a muffler shop, and picked out a nice set of chrome tips. When I installed long tube headers and RT hi-flow cats, I had to go back to the stock mufflers - the sound became unbearable. It sounded like a broken truck!
