Who has a granatelli exhaust on their C5 and what are you thoughts good or bad?

had mine on for over 2 1/2 years, no issues at all, seems to be a copy of the Borla stingers, went on easy, tips are shiney, nothing came loose yet, no drone, no popping, a little loud now though since I added cam/heads/long tubes etc... but loud is good...

I am hearing that Granatelli or Next Step Performance Exhaust is one in the same. Someone said the Next Steps are cheaper in price. Any truth in that statement? And who carries them for the best price?

NXT Step is the same exact exhaust, even comes in the same box. I just got the NXT installed on my vette earlier this month. Check out my report on it here:

Commented a couple of times before on the NXT exhaust (same as Granatelli) and I really like mine. They have a little burble in them sometimes when you back off the throttle abruptly. No drone that I have witnessed, top up or down. Nice deep tone just like a vette should sound. The wife even likes them...........

I have the Granatelli catback and I absolutly love them!
And they are the same mufflers as the NXT. The tips are sweet, and they sound awesome. I purchased them from a forum member, they're

I installed NXT's on the wife's vette. We love 'em. Here are a few of my threads on them.

Granatelli

Well actually they are not the same. We do make them together and yes we box them the same. The internals are less restrictive in our system. The NXT Step Systems are a bit less aggressive. But I agree you can’t go wrong either way – Have you guys seen the billet valve covers Granatelli released a few months back?


This shows the various coil covers they offer


if you run remote coil mounts these are for you



here are examples of the clean look

Had Granatelli for a year now. Awesome sound with Long Tubes! No problems. Great Value!
