Default Center exit exhaust

Thought I would share some of my center exit exhaust testing. The very first test pipe I built had a muffler in the middle, too quiet with stock cats. The next three were all straight pipes. A little loud for sensitive neighbors at cold start, perfect on the road. More high pitched and exotic sounding than the separated exits. Working on a pair of 4" mini mufflers today for the exit end. This will allow sound level adjustability. There will be an insert for the stock lower cowling. Feel free to love it or talk total trash, lol..I'm just having fun playing with my car.

This thing right here should’ve been the 1st thing the aftermarket parts and shops compete at to offer a center exhaust for C8 owners!

subscribed for the end result !

Happy to know you are building what I wish I had the time and space to build.

I am interested in the dyno chart data when you are done.
