Default Exhaust Id help.

Evening Gentleman : Today I sold my 95 6 sp and filled the empty space with a 98 Conv. 6sp with 21,400 miles on her clock..never saw rain and I believe it..since I had it up on my lift all evening..looking....

Dealer had no clue as to what exhaust it had and neither
do I....is there anyway to tell? picctures of the tips and the round mufflers look like Borla's from the catalogs
I have around the house...BUT I sure would like to know for sure...Do not want to be looking under every C5
this summer until I find one that looks the same as "mine"...

Thanks
Bob...

Someone would be able to tell you for sure if you would put some pictures up.

Try using a small hand mirror with a flashlight and look for etchings on the muffler or on one of the over-axle pipes.

I think the Borla round mufflers will be clearly marked/stamped on top. Others might have etchings on the tips only, probably on the top.

Congrats on the new wheels!

Now, invest in that digi-cam you've wanted and show us yer new ride!
