I have a broken muffler... The tailpipe is no longer attached so things are loose.. I am not interested in buying a new exhaust system at this point.. Can the muffler itself be replaced or do I have to buy it as a system? All the catalogs (that I have) sell only the whole system...starting at 799 and up.

I'd think a muffler shop could weld the pipe back on the muffler.

It is a pretty jagged break... but I will definitely give it a try.

If not, you might try the parts for sale section. Many people have them lying around.

The stock c5 mufflers last a long time but have essentially no value since so many people replace them with Z06/performance mufflers. You need to find one in your area. Keep your post to the top and someone may volunteer one to you.

I've got one I'd give you if you were a little closer or could wait a couple of months. I'll be down your way in a couple of months to visit family. please please please don't offer to pay shipping.

I will probably have the problem solved by then...but thanks for the offer.. That's one of my favorite parts of Corvette ownership... camaraderie Do you have family in Corpus?

I have some C5 mufflers that have been cut off from the "over axle" portion of the tubing. if you want I would send it your way for $10 over shipping.

I got them just to cut open and see what the inside looks like, but later found a picture of the inside of C5 muffler, so never cut them up.
