Exhaust Mod Bypass
Hey everyone,
I have a C5 base and was wondering if anyone has done the Exhaust Mod Bypass. I have seen a few youtube videos from some that have done it. I understand this is for sound only and won't give me more horsepower. I would love a little more aggressive sound but don't want any unwanted side affects or codes being thrown.
Any advise?

Take a look at this link.
You weld a pipe before the exhaust to get some better sound

You cut a hole? hah thats so weird. I guess you cut a hole for a cutout also huh either way
I'm all for stuff like this I just prefer it to have a switch/valve so you can go back and forth.

I did it on my Z06 - never a second of regret. The sound its much better under throttle, but doesn't really effect idle sound.
It will pop occasionally under deceleration, but the kids pay extra for that these days.
