Default WTB - rear straight-though pipes

Looking for a set of rear pipes that go over the rear axle with no mufflers.

Thanks.

did you sort this out? You can buy a set of OEM pipes, cut the mufflers off, and easily add extensions.

Optimized for HP/TQ, and most importantly trans/diff cooling

There are many C5/6's here on the boards that spend a lot of time on tracks.

Unless your strictly tracking your car you'll hate straight pipes. Your car will sound like a damn tractor unless your running headers and an xpipe......trust me ive done it and i was pissed on the way home after i had them installed. If your looking for a little more noise I'd get some stingers, b&b prts or if you've got the cash look @ corsa extremes there's alot of companies out there that make killer axle backs for our cars.

I disagree. I love the sound of mine - especially at about 150+:



Oh yeah, they are like 36lbs lighter than my Bassanis.
