Upgrading your Corvette’s exhaust system is one of the most rewarding modifications you can make — delivering deeper sound, improved exhaust flow, and measurable power gains. At CorvetteStoreOnline.com we carry five of the most respected names in Corvette performance exhaust. Whether you want a bolt-on axle-back for weekend sound or a full long-tube header and X-pipe system for track use, you’ll find it here.

Exhaust Buying Guide

Axle-Back vs. Cat-Back vs. Valve-Back vs. Long-Tube Headers: An axle-back replaces only the mufflers and tips from the rear axle back — easiest install, most affordable entry point. A cat-back replaces everything from the catalytic converter back for greater flow and more sound. A valve-back (common on C7) retains and integrates the factory NPP valves. Long-tube headers replace the exhaust manifolds and X-pipe for maximum power gains, typically requiring professional installation.

NPP & AFM Valve Fitment (C6/C7): Many C6 and C7 Corvettes came with NPP (Normal/Performance/Quiet) and AFM (Active Fuel Management) exhaust valves. Confirm whether the system you’re buying includes, excludes, or bypasses these valves. Borla is especially specific on this — always verify your vehicle’s exact equipment before ordering.

Sound Level Guide by Brand: Borla offers Touring (subtle), S-Type (classic), and ATAK® (aggressive). CORSA offers Sport (drone-free daily driver) and Xtreme (track-aggressive). Magnaflow’s Street Series leans toward a refined, deep tone. Kooks and Stainless Works header systems dramatically change both sound and power character throughout the entire RPM range.
