Here is something everyone will notice....I have this kit on my C5 and believe me everyone says they love it and it should have come stock on every C5!

I imagine that wing has to make it a little inconvenient to access the trunk on a regular basis. When I take my car to work I'm in the trunk several times in a day getting my stuff out.

Somewhat, I am 6'2 and can reach over, being shorter would make it a little difficult. Some days I wonder what it would be like having a stock Corvette. Then without fail a friend or stranger will rave about the great looks. Pic's don't do it justice, the lines totally compliment the Corvette at every angle, someone put a lot of time into the design. On my triple black vert it looks crazy. Good luck on your upgrade. Rob

Default Rear Dress up.

While I appreciate everyones' replies, I suspect what you're speaking of might be the LACK of that plate between the pipes?

Sadly, brain fart prevents me from calling it by name, but I'm sure everyone else will fill in the name for it.

Lower picture is the plate of which I speak.

I just noticed you lack of CHROME TIPS THERE.
Is that a stock exhaust in there?
Missing the tips?
I have a set of chrome tips you can HAVE...
I was going to throw them away.

Here's something a little different. Not the cheapest option, but one of the more unique. PM me if you are interested. This is not my car. I ended up going with diffuser instead and these did not fit without cutting it up significantly.



My car with Corvette Creationz urethane diffuser and Corsas.

I like dual exhaust. Quads are impossible to keep lined up.

If $$$ was no object however, a set of Tigersharks or the Callaway double D would be back there.

BTW Got rid of the high mile Black one?

Those are called Daytona tips. They're only sold by West Coast Corvettes, and I got mine about 8 years ago, also on a half price sale. I love the look, but the shape acts like a trumpet to amplify the sound. If you have a cammed car without cats, they're really loud.
