Maybeee

Bypassing stock exhaust is super easy since it's typical stainless material. You'll have to find the appropriate size tube to get it done (I think it's 1.75" pipe needed). It will add some more rumble but shouldn't impact any drone etc. Good thing is if you mess it up or don't like it, stock catbacks go for $100 and or fee lol.

The stock exhaust on my roadster is starting to appeal to me, for some reason, but the tip configuration doesn't. I think I'm going to modify them to a Viper-style centermount set-up, like I did with my Z06.
My Z06's Tigershark bumper with my centermount design:



Caravaggio outlet configuration:



Callaway Double-D tips



As Dan mentioned in a previous thread, some type of enclosure will need to be added, to cover up the gap left when the extra tips are deleted. That wasn't needed on the Tigershark bumper because it had a much smaller opening.

Looks good, Elliott. Did you do the work or have a shop do the welding/fitment?
