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 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.
