Default Performance exhaust

I’m a new 2019 Stingray owner and would like to upgrade to the performance exhaust. Is there a means of making this upgrade?

Default Not easy

If you're talking about the factory two stage exhaust, unless it came equipped going aftermarket will be tough; I have a 1LT with the stock base exhaust so
I had it replaced with a Corsa Sport. Not as loud as the Corsa Extreme but suits me well over the long run...good luck

You could easily add the stock performance exhaust, but it will be in track mode the whole time which isn't a bad thing. If you plan to retain stock exh manifolds and cats, you'll want it in track mode all the time anyway.

Yeah, the factory NPP exhaust in the Track (open calve) mode sounds very good.

So if I go with the performance exhaust, do I need to change the whole exhaust or are there certain common items which limit the parts that need replaced.

Is there a drone issue in track mode like there was in the C6 with the valves open?

There's been a lot of interest in the AWE exhaust products lately. Might want to check them out.

Not with the factory exh manifolds and cats. If you add long tubes + high flow cats, you can get a little bit of drone, but you almost have to try to make it happen.
