My car id due to have its 2 yearly roadworthy test. I live in Korea.
I was at the garage this morning getting my taillights changed back to stock ones so it passes the test.The mechanic did a decibel test on the exhaust and said it won't pass the test as it was too loud. My exhaust has electronic cutout on it and it was in the quietest mode when he tested it. I am not really clued up on exhausts and thought mine was all stock apart from the cutouts. But no its straight piped from the headers to the cutout which is just before the rear mufflers. So i am stupid

So I need to get a stock exhaust to put on to pass the test. I need to get it from the US because Chevy Korea doesnt have 5th gen parts.
Doe anybody know where I can get one? Or used is ok.
Many thanks.
Now I need to go study about exhausts!

You can find some used options here in the classified section. If you have a way to fabricate a super restricted option by going to an exhaust shop down there, that’s what I would do. I assume it’ll cost a lot to ship something heavy down there

I have a 2010 SS stock exhaust hanging on the wall in my garage. Shipping to Korea would be a bitch...lol

^^^^ this for sure. Have someone at an exhaust shop that you trust fab something up muffler wise that is kinda quiet for the time being so you can pass. It will also probably be your best bet cost wise as well, then you can put it back the way it was. Good luck.

I don’t have anything to sell.. I just saying that anything shipped from the US to there, especially the exhaust, will cost a pretty penny.

Why would you tell me, you have exactly what I need hung up in your garage?
And your shipping quote was way off. I can get one shipped for 400, not 1000. If your gonna post, post something helpful and accurate
