Default Which exhaust for the C8?

Top or Bottom (Note that I am currently leaning towards 2M)

Top is MBRP (straight pipe no resonators)
Bottom is 2MFabrication x pipe

Pairing with 2M headers and sport cats

Heard comments of the cross over x pipe (MBRP) being louder but a lot of the higher end well known exhausts have the same layout as the 2MFabrication but theirs so little information on it,

MBRP

2MFabrications
thanks in advanced.

It will be a lot louder if you just leave all that unnecessary stuff off the car and go with no exhaust at all.

I spent most of Saturday putting a Corsa system on my C8. Totally worth it! Car sounds much louder and much better. However I still have the option to close the valves and not have hear that if I wish. This is good for resale value, not every Vette buyer want's to hear that all the time.

With the NPP and AFM valves open the Corsa it a straight through exhaust.

The best C8's I have heard all had HFC. Factory NPP with Cats is the ideal set up IMO.

Mine was a factory NPP. Factory NPP sounded good but not great. The new Corsa system I installed sounds great! Even my wife was like "yeah it needs an exhaust system". LOL

Between those two options we can work you a deal on MBRP.

Our best sellers though are Borla, Corsa, AWE, Soul.

The MBRP system has what looks like a generic ebay xpipe center section with some bent pipe to the tips. Not much thought went into that one but the lower price reflects that. Keep in mind if you want to do that system you will need to budget for some afm/npp valve simulators to prevent a CEL. The 2M Fabrication system is made in China, whether you care or not. They don't seem to be the friendliest if you have any issues. I'd love to sell you something I can also set you up with some quality China options as well as Corsa, Borla & more from my "personal" inventory I own https://www.corvetteexhaustsystems.com. It's important to let me know if you currently have a dual mode oem system or not so you don't order the wrong part numbers too. Call or texting is fastest 201-575-0861. Looking forward to sending you gainssss.
Sincerely,
Ciro

2M FAB web page on exhaust system...2020+ C8 Catback Exhaust System - Touring | 2MFabrication Why the animosity towards a company that sells direct to the customer to void multiple markups, and is made in Idaho. PS I have heard the complete system at last years corvette classic in the Black Hills. And it was the deepest base sounding of everything at the event.

There's a number of reasons. First I really question where their exhaust is built it looks identical to the ones on AliExpress or Alibaba. Their contact is Ohio. Next read Google reviews, then go to their Facebook page and see how the owner publicly bashes other companies and belittles customers who ask questions. Their sport cats are the bottom of the barrel as far as catalyst efficiency. This is only some of the reasons I'd never do business them.

How did you check the catalyst efficiency? Have you actually Seen and heard the system? The people I talked with were happy with the product. With that said, I don't judge a product or a person, by their surroundings.

2M is Chinese-made generic crap. If someone wants dirt cheap, skip the 2M "cats" and just get EOS resonated test pipes. Nevermind the fact the "owners" blatantly lie to potential customers and are outright rude to actual customers.
