Muffler deletes?
I am shocked with amount of amazing talent on this forum that no one has started producing muffler delete kits or at least the big companies giving it a shot. Granted I know hooker offers a kit, but for $1000??? What a joke for two pieces of bent pipe and tips. I'm just surprised with the amount of time the c7 has been out that someone would have made something especially with a lot of companies making full Exhaust systems.

SLP and Pypes are a couple that make them for other cars, but I don’t think that they devoted any efforts for the C7. Try reaching out to them... maybe they have something in the works.

Personally, I wouldn't want a muffler delete. My preference is an opposite plan of attack which is to replace all the junk upstream of the mufflers. Pair the NPP with some long tubes and high flow catted xpipe and it sounds very good in track mode with minimal drone but still have the option to quiet things down if wanted. The best of both worlds with little compromise.

Corvette tax... I think that most of the more popular manufactures devoted their resources on a design to minimize drone. There is certainly a market for a muffler delete kit, but most seem to have a muffler shop retrofit them for a nominal fee.

It may not be cost effective for them. I bought the Flowmaster dual 4" angled cut dual wall tips (X2) from Summit Racing for $108, and had a local muffler shop install them with muffler delete. Labor was $120. I liked the Corsa quad 4.5" tips, but they wanted like $300 just for the tips, so I went with the Flowmasters.
Sounds freak'n awesome and all in less than $250.

Do you have a link for the tip? And did you just have an exhaust shop bend two pipes? I don't want to touch my stock parts just in case I sell the car and return all my mods back to stock.

Kindigit Design has some killer exhaust cutouts for $425. A few hundred to weld them in and run the wires...
If I was non-NPP, I’d be trying them out.

Here's the link to the tips. You'll obviously need 2 of them:
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/f...2-_-flowmaster
I had the muffler shop cut the exhaust pipe in between the AFM valves and the mufflers. Kept the mufflers in case I want to have them welded back in. Shop just bent some 2.5 in. exhaust tubing to fill the space from stock exhaust after cutting out muffler to the new tips. They added a couple hangers to the new tips so they would mount like the stock mufflers did so they could correctly space the tips in the rear valance.
The guy at the muffler shop couldn't believe the quality of the tips for the price. He couldn't come close to matching the price and, his largest dual tips were 3.5" like the stock tips where the Flowmasters are 4".
