They are the only one I've seen with the chambered mufflers. BTW, that setup will be really loud with headers and no cats.
Recognize this exhaust?

Recognize this exhaust?
Does anyone recognize this exhaust. It's on my 2K I bought a couple months ago but I haven't seen any pictures with this kind on it. I looking at long tubes and removing the cats and wondering if I will need some mufflers.
Thanks, in advance!

I knew as soon as the dealer started it that it wasn't factory exhaust. I've got true dual 3" Flowmaster 40's on both my '89 GMC and '80 383 Malibu so I know what noisy (and drone) is.
Generally I like a good sounding exhaust but when shopping for the Corvette I actually used the aftermarket intake (K&N) and aftermarket exhaust to help knock the price down. That's all that had been changed and the car hasn't been beat on. The sound is not too bad but, as someone else mentioned in this thread, why in the world spend all that money on stainless exhaust and use cheap *** clamps that rust anyway.
Also, I don't like the way they are crimped down to 2" or less. At my mod level it doesn't matter but it will someday.
Guess I'll find out and weld the cats back in if I have to.
Thanks,
Steve
