C5 corvette exhaust
I’m looking to make my c5 louder and I’m not sure where to go. I’ve got a borla s type on the back but stock heads, cats and X pipe, do you guys have any recommendations to make it louder?

I do have some kooks header options with cats if you want a top quality made in USA option. This combo will add volume and power to your C5. Happy to go over options and pricing together.

Thanks for the offer but I’m actually located in New Zealand and am on a Tight budget as I’m still very young, would be pretty expensive getting those over but thanks!

If you have a stock exhaust with the exception of the catback, then you have an H-pipe rather than an X-pipe. An aftermarket X-pipe could offer a little more exhaust note, but some LT headers would improve both the sound and performance.
