Default Cheapest axleback right now?

Hey guys,

Eagerly awaiting my C8's arrival. The first thing I'm looking to do is replace the square tipped exhaust. Could I just buy round tips and have them installed at an exhaust shop? If not who currently has the cheapest round tipped axleback going right now?

Cheers and I'm excited to join the c8 club!

Not simple as it's all welded construction. Tenneco made the C7 and I assume the C8 exhaust as it's their valves etc. A good muffler shop could cut off the tips and install whatever. Not so simple to get it all aligned perfectly as Tenneco has fixtures and uses MIG robots to made all the welds.

Kudos to Chevrolet for designing the new c8. That being said the stock OEM c8 exhaust is a 76pound boat anchor. Heavy bulky and 4 uglySquare tips .

we engineered a system that removed 30 pounds off the rear of the car and flows better. It’s light runs a lot cooler and comes with matt carbon fiber exhaust tips.

we could sell you tips but you would have to cut off and weld on the tips at your exhaust shop of choice. Totally doable. Tips $160 carbon fiber auto-clave lifetime quality street or race no deterioration.



c8 x pipe valvetronic show. Non valved lighter n faster

Matt carbon fiber tips. Slip,on . Quad for c8 corvette. What a great car.
