Hello everyone, I am brand new to the forum and appreciate all of the helpful information that I have found/used from this forum. I have bought my first corvette just under a year ago(millennium yellow 2000 coupe) and I’ve been trying to figure out ever since I bought the car, exactly what brand of mufflers I have installed on my corvette as there are no markings and I have received different answers from different owners. This is along with having no luck finding matching mufflers on the internet. The note that I get from this setup is very mild with little to no drone. If anyone has any insight or information that might be helpful to me, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you guys!

I can't say off hand for sure but my tips are like yours. I have the B&B (Billy Boat) PRT mufflers, but I'm sure other brands have used them also. I haven't seen those support angles on any system yet and that's what's confusing me I guess.

If I had to guess, they are made by B&B Exhaust. I ran a set of them on my 2000 C5 (B&B Route 66) and there were no markings on either the mufflers or the tips. Sent a pic of them to B&B and ask them to confirm which system you may have.

That’s what I was thinking of doing. I guess I was also thrown off by the fact of how quiet the tone was before I took them off. But I guess that shouldn’t be a surprise to me considering my buddy just picked up a 2000 as well with a Corsa system on it. And it is of the same loudness as I recall these said muffler being. But when I think of names such as Billy boat or Corsa, I just imagine a more loud and throaty Tone

Most of the manufacturers had several versions from mild to wild. For example Corsa offered on the C5's a mild version called Sport, a louder version Called Indy's and a few years later added the "Xtreme" very loud version. Adding to the confusion, several version of exhaust tips were offered between the various models..
