No CHINESE “lobster- tail — pie cut multiple welds “ pie-cut welded exhaust systems are NOT indicative of quality NOR craftsmanship as the uneducated might assume. Any and all exhaust systems with “PIE CUT SECTIONS- lobster tail - multiple pieces cut & spliced and welded together “ are laughingly called in the professional welding field as Lobster tail welds and are actually multiple failure points called heat affected zones or HAZs. You likely see this nonsense all the time and it’s the “cheap sweat-shop labor Chinese no equipment manufacturing substitute “ for CNC mandrel benders or the NO CNC equipment work-around as labor is cheap in Asia. You even see this nonsense in the USA from time to time.
Check out the Fabspeed C8Z06 Titanium Supersport saves a MASSIVE 43 pounds from the stock Z06 OEM muffler . 2200 degree insulation Inconel ceramic wrapped top pipes . 100 % argon backpurged mandrel bent minimal welds for maximum exhaust flow and durability.

Titanium investment cast lost wax X pipe mandrel bent - no lousy cheap pie-cut nonsense . Massive weight savings BUT super strong X pipe rules . Back purged — good welds SHOULD HAVE NO COLOR! Color in titanium is indicative of non-shielded welding processes . OEM Z06 60 pounds 27.5 kilograms Z06 quad tips OEM middle from my personal Z06 carbon quad bottom and quad titanium top Here is a short video for my fellow Corvette faithful to understand WHY you should REJECT aftermarket exhaust systems that are crafted and built with multiple stainless steel and titanium “pie-cut pieces”. As i mentioned multiple welds and rediculous pie-cut Lobstertail style welds every 1/2” to make a 90 degree bends 45 degree or whatever are multiple failure points no matter who welds up any piece of metal. Heat affected zones or HAZ are failure points of which logically one should avoid . That being said Chinese and Taiwanese sourced systems often employ this “false craftsmanship style “ as $700,000 mandrel benders and CNC equipment is expensive and take a lot of floor space and tooling.
The biggest difference is quality!!
We have mandrel benders, titanium casting, and Helical 100% Silica Carbide Valves. Not to mention, our valved and non valved system features an industry first of it's kind, a cast titanium X-pipe, including our famous knife-edged internals to promote proper flow acceleration and scavenging.
That system you attached is an out-of-the-box solution, made overseas. Easily acquired through eBay or vendors directly for a few hundred dollars if you're diligent in your search. The biggest issue, is those overseas valves seen in the photos are proven to be extraordinarily weak. They degrade due to heat and will rattle incessantly, if not explode. (Swing by HQ and we can show you examples, we've tested them over the years)
Fabspeed's Titanium Supersport X-Pipe Exhaust is the ultimate race focused cat-back setup for your Corvette C8 Z06. This exhaust system will wake up your LT6 engine like no other cat-back exhaust out there.
This all out race exhaust turns the Z06’s 5.5l V8 exhaust note into a thoroughbred race sound. With a much more authoritative rumble at idle, and our signature X-pipe bringing out the a high pitched wail that, dare we say, exceeds that of the Ferrari 458. This system is LOUD, so don’t be surprised when you wake your neighbor's every Sunday morning. All this sound and performance comes at the cost of some interior drone. For a drone free solution, we are developing a valvetronic exhaust that will have the best of both worlds.

The company you quoted above has NO DYNO validation, no Dyno development , No design, NO engineering and NO manufacturing departments ............all processes and everything is 100% outsourced to CHINA. Here is the website on Alibaba where its all bought for peanuts and marked up 1000% and resold to unsuspecting Ferrari, Corvette , Lamborghini, Corvette C8 , Lamborghini, Maserati, BMW, Mercedes enthusiasts . The one and only JOB function for many internet companies importing poorly designed, poorly engineered and unreliable systems is MARKETING Hype, Social Media Hype and tough guy gangster hands and discounts to gain traction. At the end of the day as I learned I business school and 25+ years of Porsche Driver education and Club Racing to the point of being asked to Run the ROLX 24 at Daytona...cheap performance parts are the old saying .............." You Can NOT Polish a TURD"!
Ive received several PHONE calls from Performance shops regarding FAULT Codes and problems from defective Chinese exhaust valves . One shop super Pissed-Off said essentially " Great Im their Beta tester road tester for a product of which they have ZERO experience and are simply reselling" .
Meanwhile , many other local companies are simply BUYING Chines catalogue exhaust systems that 100% lose significant power and cost $450 complete and are RESOBOXED RESOLD to Porsche Boxster Cayman and GT3 customers from "SOUL-LESS companies" from www.liangfei.com.tw
Open and LOOK.......simply order , unbox, sand-blast to Obfuscate the Chinese polished finish and BUILD website with "we love our customers and lots of Values and MIssion statements " and Re-sandblast and resell as brand NEW if a defective system get returned.
Is this a better design than you did way back on streets peed 717 yellow z06? I remember the picture you posted of the opening of the oem mufflers showing that tiny 1 inch pipe. Is yours bigger?

Inconel stainless steel valves with silica carbide spindles that take intense thermal loading and temperature shock and endurance racing events.
