C8 Changes Once Ordered
Hey guys, I just officially placed my order on my 2021 C8. I have now realized that I should've opted in for the performance exhaust as I have the 2LT package only.
It's been accepted for production now and was wondering if I can still opt in for it?
And if so, is it worth getting the performance exhaust?
Thanks

I opted not to get it as the price point was too steep. I can put an aftermarket exhaust system eventually if I want. It's nice to hear the engine revs but ultimately the look of the car is what steals the show and thats always gonna stay.

An aftermarket exhaust of any quality is going to cost you double what the performance exhaust option costs. Even more if you want selectable modes.

You may be correct but I would argue that, as with previous vettes and other cars in general, aftermarket exhausts can be excellent choices and I'll take my chances on them being better than the NPP.

Save 2000 now spend 4000 later and have no control over the valves... Solid logic.

Do after market exhausts still give you the option to change how loud you want it through the on-screen or is it separately wired?

For the C7, there was at least one exhaust system that used it's own valve control system. I'm not sure if anyone is doing that for the C8.
