Exhaust Mod question
Hello all,
I am a new owner of my first Corvette, a 2019 Stingray, no performance exhaust. I would like to mod the sound of the exhaust a bit, nothing crazy, no fancy performance mod exhaust. Does anyone have any suggestions on a basic add-on mod I could do to the exhaust to get it a little deeper? Something under $500? Is that possible?
Thanks!

Yeah, axle back exhausts are expensive for our cars. Good ole corvette tax. I would save up and buy a pair of mufflers from BBE, Corsa or Borla. I didn’t have NPP either, I wound up going with the BBE PRT system. It has a deep classic muscle car sound but no drone when cruising, it also cost a few hundred less than the others.
Some folks have done a muffler delete, which will be in your price range.

the x pipe replaced the rear cats right? Are there o2 sensors in the rear cats? I haven't looked....not sure if this requires o2 sims or it is a direct bolt on??

Yep, that is what they do! No sensors after the secondary CATS. All Vettes in the past ~10 years (or more) have X pipes. If you want to save even more money get a good muffler shop to replace the CATs with a pipe!

I think the lowest price I have found on the x-pipe is 439 on amazon but haven't looked much further.

I might be willing to sell my NPP. I think that would make a bigger sound improvement then just doing an X pipe, maybe someone can chime in. If interested PM me, it would be more then $500 however, only 5k miles mint condition.
