Below are the DIY instructions on how to install an exhaust enhancer plate.

It is very simple to install and takes all of 15 minutes to do For those who may not be handy with a wrench this is a beginners level DIY mod, and you will take pride after you install it There must be 20 styles of plates from various vendors on CF...pick the one that is right for you and have fun installing it...its very easy.

Note: Some exhaust enhancer plates will not work with NPP exhaust systems, so check before you buy.

Before


After


TOOLS
All you need is a 13mm socket with an extension


The Process
Crawl under your car from the rear and look up between the exhaust and you will see where the rear exhaust hanger is mounted. This is what you will see …….


Loosen the nuts (don’t remove) with your 13mm socket.


The plate has horizontal and vertical oriented slots. Slide the horizontal slot under the nut you loosened then rotate the vertical slot onto the opposite hanger bolt and secure. (hold in place with one hand till the nuts are snugged up or it will fall)


Here it is in place (apologies for the blurry photo).


Set back and enjoy your handy work!


Hope this helps someone!

They will work with the NPP system depending on the plate. Mine came with two holes and no slots. I "customized" it so it could be installed without taking it all apart.

Thank you, I do not have a NPP and was not sure....I have amended my note about NPP's

Not sure if it just needs to be thinner or what? I know it was a question that was asked when I ordered mine.

OP,

Thanks for the post!

I tried to mount mine last winter, with no luck. Since then, I forgot all about it. The mounting instructions provided by the vendor were difficult to read/comprehend due to the poor photocopy image. It was too dark. I should be able to master this mounting, now...

Appreach,

Yes, stock defuser. I purchased from CF supporting vendor CorvetteMods.

You can look here http://www.corvettemods.com/Exhaust-...tes_c_159.html

I think other supporting vendors have these as well.

Glad I could help post a pic when you install it

Never understood these.... Isn't there a corvette logo 3 feel above it?

Much easier for you. It took me damn near 45 min to install one on my Z. Could barely get my hands in there and I had to use an open ended wrench. Now i lost one of those bolts and im pissed. Guess i didn't tighten it enough

NCorvette

Terrible. Either go to quad exhaust or center them next to each other

I just checked out your website and saw your advisory: "Tech Note: Will not fit Z06/ZR1's due to bolt hanger locations."
That bummed me out. I was thinking about buying the Centennial Edtion version for my ZR1. But no workie on my stock NPP.

Thanks for great instructions to install. I did this. Here's my issue. There's a vibration noise coming from it now. When I'm driving I hear a different sound. I can't get the bolts any tighter. Anyone have something like this?
Thanks.
