Do you have a link or part number? The only filler panels I could find only works with the stock exhaust.

I think a big point of Callaway's design is to avoid the filler panel so the polished mufflers can be seen.

The filler panel is part #145035, page 69 from Corvette Central C5 catalogue. It's designed to fit around the DD's so it takes up the space left by the 4-tip stock design. I spoke to CC yesterday to get the poop on it. The Panel comes ready to paint(factor in that cost) and there's no drilling required. You can go to their Website corvettecentral.com or call 1-800-345-4122. Looking at the amount of area needed to be painted, you could get the panel air brushed and clear coated if you can match the paint. That would save $$ if done right.

I heard the Callaway and thought it sounded great! I just can't take a liking to the tips. If they offered tips similiar to stock, I would have been a Callaway customer years ago...
