The pics only show the front of the car, so kind of hard to see the exhaust.

But congrats on getting the car - it looks great.

Thanks for the compliments. Im 50/50 on the look of the tips. I was just wondering if anyone could identify the exhaust just by seeing them. Ive looked around and not seen any matching that style. While I do like not being the 2 or 4 plain oval club like most other owners, my issue with the system is significant rusting on the mufflers themselves. If there was ever a brand stamped on them, Im not able to tell because of their poor condition. Sounds good, looks ok, just thinking that it may be a problem down the road if one rusts thru. I guess we will see.

In the meantime, here is my favorite shot so far.... best looking garage Ive had in a while lol

Some one could have custom fabricated them and thats why theres no information on them, I've never seen anything like them. As far as the rust, it clear that they werent made with high grade stainless steel

Nice VetteS! lol I switched from the 4 tip to the 2 tip club and honestly I don't like it anymore it was cool at first but i'm looking to switching back to something 4 tip....I've had lots of people go "oh i thought vettes had 4 exhaust tips" or "quad exhaust" and I have to explain and 90% of the time people say mine looks worse and they are just plain circle exhaust pipes lol

your's on the other hand looks like it should belong on the r2d2 vette...
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...r2d2-vett.html

no offense I don't care for them and it would be one of my first mods too....

I love the blue though with that tint overall beautiful car! Enjoy c5's are a blast!

I have no idea about that exhaust.

But congrats on that beautiful C5! It looks fantastic next to that C3. I'm hoping that I will be able to get one like that someday to complete my garage like that as well.

If you want something just keep working. Less than ideal circumstances have brought me to the point Im at in life. But you know what they say about when life hands you lemons...

I have the same exhaust. NO its not custom it's flowmaster split oval and they came as a full package with the mufflers. I'm on the fence with the look myself but I love the sound. Not to loud, not to quiet, no drone (except at idle with the AC on).

I know this is a dark pic but it's the same package. Corvette central has them in their catalogue but not on the site for some reason.
