Default **LMR custom exhaust build for C8**

Tear down complete of the factory exhaust system on the 2020 C8 Corvette. We are now in the process of custom building our LMR exhaust system. Check back to see progress pictures and please subscribe to our YouTube Channel to see a full video of the exhaust being built once complete. If you have a C8 Corvette, and want it to sound better than the factory system while adding more horsepower, e-mail or call us today for information.

I hope that sounds as good as it looks!

What is the weight difference compared to stock?

In the Magnaflow thread, they stated 4 1/2", these look similar.

Good looking exhaust but apart from saving weight it will be quieter then stock (stock NPP run straight thru with an x pipe with no muffler), it will drone when you run in 4 cylinder mode on the highway (you lose the first and second set of muffler valves) and you will lose the capacity to run in any quieter mode.

Quick teaser video of the 2020 C8 Corvette equipped with the new custom LMR exhaust system. Check back for the full video to hear and see what she looks and sounds like from outside the car from multiple views. This was taken on a phone so sound quality may not be best.

Here is a ride along video guys. I do plan to try and move the tips a little farther in. Every customer has his/her opinion on what a good sounding exhaust system sounds like and sometimes you have to hear a car in person because of audio. Let me know what you guys think. If you would like to get on our order list for the first batch being built, please email or give us a call to get on the list. We should have pricing by next week.

Best sounding aftermarket exhaust for the C8 I've heard so far. I think there are 3 others I have seen floating around.

picked up a lot of power. We've seen the stock exhaust cut open on the magnaflow video and there's no restriction. I'm shocked. Is the pipe diameter larger?
