Default Do any of the major performance brands offer free exhaust installation at Carlisle?

Hoping to make it to Carlisle this year and wondering if any of the major performance brands (Borla/Corsa/AWE/etc..) offer free installation on cat back exhausts if you purchase them while there?

I want to get aftermarket exhaust but I’d be happy to wait until Carlisle if it means I can save some $$ in the process.

thanks!

Unless things recently changed, most if not all offered free installation. I go to Carlisle every year and watch a few installs while walking by. I cringe when I see a brand new exhaust being removed and scrapped.

Yes, Borla offers free installation on any of their exhaust purchased at Carlisle. We had the ATAK installed on our C6 three years ago while there and was very pleased with their work and pricing.

Yes, it’s a nice benefit when buying an exhaust at the show.

Had an AWE Touring installed there last year. I suggest you purchase the exhaust ahead of time and make the installation appointment at the same time. You should also purchase the inner fender “blackout overlays” to cover the reflective heat shield especially if you going with blacked out tailpipes.

Twenty five years from now an entrepreneur will be reproducing them under license so that people can restore C8s!

It's the circle of life...

Someone should create a modification on the takeoff npp exhausts that are discarded so get more sound out of them. I have the npp exhaust and while it’s very nice it’s a little quiet inside the closed cabin. Roof off and windows down it sends some sound into the cockpit but closed cabin it’s Lexus quiet which is a technical achievement but missing a bit of old school corvette fun compared to previous generations.

Yes, but on quiet a smaller scale since the "Install Dome" is no more. Definitely would need it scheduled ahead of time IMO.

Wow, nice benefit! Plus, you know it'll get done right if it's their techs doing the work.
