Just Mufflers and tips. ?'s

What mufflers are available to replace stock ones? I don't see the need to buy an entire cat back, or even axle back if staying 2.5"

I blew the steel wool out of my stock left one and am looking for a replacement.

I'm not trying to be cheap. Just don't see the need to buy what is not broken.

I have no cats. if that changes anyone's thoughts.

I would get a Corsa catback. They don't sell only an axleback. Your other choice is to get some mufflers welded in by a good exhaust shop. I like Magnaflow and Spintech if you want to go that route. It might drone with no cats. Corsa sounds amazing though and is totally worth the money. I had it on my C6. At least it's cheaper for a 5th Gen.

I had Corsa sport on my Hennessey SS. Loved it. Wanting something a little deeper in tone.

Do you want to take a chance on a used stock ZL1 set...only 10,000 miles to the grocery store and back on Sunday....

Joking aside I have run mine hard but never saw wool coming out. Maybe I burned it out.... I'm posting the entire stock exhaust for sale and if I get no takers I could sell the mufflers and tips.

I wouldn't worry about it at all if I were you unless you just wanted different sound. I blew mine out a long time ago and just kept rolling. Corsa sounds best in my opinion.

I noticed mine. After the Half Mile Shootout.

Pulled it out about a foot and a half long.

I'd recommend a couple Magnaflow mufflers. They're nice and deep, and will take care of some of that rasp from having no cats.

Feel free to give me a call or shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to help you out and answer any questions.

Best regards,

Tyler

I would just remove the steel wool in and call it good unless you hate the way it sounds.

if cost in your concern that is by far the cheapest solution.

other than that listen to sound clips. exhaust sound is like taste in music no two people will have the same taste. I hate magnaflow with a passion for example but some people love them. I like borla some people hate them.

for this car the sound clips of the stailess works champber setup sound great to me. that is what I will try if I ever swap.

Just let me know when your coming? I live on the north side of town Hwy 385 and 87th. We can go down to Corkys and I'll buy a round or two.
