I have a '08 C6 coupe that I recently purchased. My first Vette so I am finding out all the stuff I can do to improve it.

Can anyone tell me what this exhaust is? Did an NPP come with all 2008's? Or was it an option upgrade?

What else can anyone tell me about this exhaust?

UPDATE: I have changed out headers, xpipe and Corsa Sports. See page 2.


Thanks--

That appears to be the standard exhaust.
The NPP exhaust was an option.

NPP is the option code for dual mode exhaust. I agree your exhaust looks stock which is not the NPP.

You say that but the actuators look like they are above the two center pipes. Take a picture looking straight down the pipes or look in the two center pipes and if there is a butterfly in there you have npp if there is not one you have the standard pipes.

That is the stock exhaust and does not look like it's NPP. Tips are way too small.

For what reason were you lead to believe it was something other than stock?

I believe you are looking at the mounting rods welded to the mufflers and the rubber isolation donuts.

that is the rubber mounts, this is 100% not the NPP set up

they look like hangers to me.

stock..the way i ordered mine....then a week later tore em off and installed Corsa Extremes... with no moving parts and better sound than NPP

peter pan

Stock like on our 09

LucaBrasiAZ

i would say stock too but i dont remember the stock exhaust on my 09 having the holes inside the exhaust pipes....but i could be wrong, doesnt happen much, but it does happen

Stock base exhaust

ALS 08

Sure does look like the car is being lifted by the tub, Don't it? Yikes! No frame rails that far under car.

Npp

Dronski47

Yeah that car is gonna have some ouchies under it for sure.

Blue Devil 08

Stock for Sure and i would buy some pucks for the frame to lift your car up and not like that !!!!!

Thanks to everyone who replied. It would seems from 100% of the comments that I have a stock exhaust. Go figure. Wish I knew a little more before making a buy decision but this is how I learn.

Some mentioned that I may have been lead to believe I had NPP.....I knew right away from comparison that it wasn't because of the missing solenoids and the butterfly. I just didn't know if the 1st owner changed it to something different.

Now I want the NPP exhaust. Maybe I am going out on a limb and wonder if anyone will trade (plus cash) to downgrade to the stock just before they turn their car over to the dealer to buy that 2012. Or someone in need of some cash. Or....I am out of my tree.

My buddy owns the shop. He used some rubber lifting pieces and put them in the four places attached to the frame. We also removed the top and opened up the windows. Just to be safe.
