Default The incredible sounding Celeritech exhaust

I know not everyone is going to like this. But I really, REALLY like the way this Celeritech 8-4-2-1 exhaust makes a normal LS sound like a flat-plane crank engine. It has to do with the way the tubing and merges are laid out. Nevermind the Hoonigan version is WAY too loud and needs mufflers IMO

Celeritech is in some sort of a production delay right now so I have looked without much success for an alternative. Is anyone aware of one?

Yeah it's definitely not for everyone. But as an ex motorcycle road racer I love that high RPM sound. I am kind of amazed that they were able to get that sound across the entire RPM range, pretty cool. Poor Man's C8 Z06.

So you were able to order one like the one I linked to above? If so, how?

Going to say pass since makes car sound like a ricer.
Corsa will at least give the car a V10 tone, while the Borla will give the car a deeper muscle car tone, with neither of these system producing drone.

To add, going to guess that that the system has all kind of drone that they are not calling out to start with.
Hence no mater what system you add to the car, if it has drone, system will be ripped off the car in less than a few weeks, since its just something that you can not live with to start with.

It is an impressively expensive and well made exhaust.

But I am also not a fan of the sound.

really nice to see new stuff still being developed for C6.
Having said that...I prefer the traditional sound, but way cooler mod than say people adding lambo doors to hardpark at a cars and coffee

I sent an email to Celeritech and they replied, indicating they are working on it, and expect a pre-order sale coming in November.

Based on the response, I expect they will be FLOODED with pre-orders from this forum. Lots of fans here.

Report back to us, please.

Does anyone know whether there are any gains from the Celeritech exhaust vs. stock or the traditional 4-1 or even 4-2-1? That's what I care about more than exhaust tone.

video showed a dyno sheet with some gains.


I reluctantly watched the video and expected to not like the sound based on peoples’ responses, but I think that sounds pretty cool
