C6 Side Pipes

Just wondering if anyone has seen or modified their C6 with side pipes. Wondering the cost and how it came out ...

Side pipes were fine on the C2's and early C3's, not sure they would look right on the C6. Besides with the limited ground clearance they could be an issue.

It could be done and still look decent. It'll burn your leg on entry and exit though.

Not conventional or practical but this is my side pipe setup to maximize custom mid-mount turbo build. A fuel cell was built in place of of the original mufflers out back

The sound is very sweet!

They look great on a C3. On a C6, they would need to be hidden.

I agree, the rockers could possibly hide a pipe large enough for exhaust flow
