In this video from TJ Hunt on YouTube he helps his girlfriend Sabrina with her first mod to her new C8 Corvette they she purchased at West Coast Exotics. The first mod she is going with is a Magnaflow Exhaust ($4,739) for the C8 Corvette.
You will see them install the Magnaflow cat back exhaust for the C8 Corvette step by step and they take it for a test drive doing some rips.
In the video they are questioning whether it is loud enough or not and this is an exhaust that TJ Hunt helped with the design idea. The biggest thing TJ Hunt didn’t like was that it wasn’t too loud. However, he helped them create the X Mod which allows you to remove the mufflers and then it becomes a straight pipe exhaust.
What do you think should they take the X Mod exhaust mufflers off or leave it as it is? If you want to learn more about the Magnaflow exhaust system for the C8 Corvette check out this link and let them know C8CorvetteBlog.com sent you if you end up purchasing it from them.
As we covered many times before since Fabspeed Motorsport was one of the first companies to develop and launch a cat back exhaust for the C8 Corvette as well as sport cats they have now launched a full system including Headers.
Here is a video they just launched that shows the sound difference although video really hard to capture the true sound of the Fabspeed Headers, Sport Cats, and cat back exhaust for the Corvette C8.
Check out this video from Fabspeed Motorsport as Fabspeed owner, Joe Fabiani, explains the extensive measures we went through to manage heat in the C8 engine bay with our Valvetronic and Supersport Cat back Exhausts for the C8 Corvette.
If you want to learn more about the C8 Corvette Fabspeed Exhausts and exhuast options check out our other posts over the last few years covering the Fabspeed Exhaust.
We don’t just blog about the C8 Corvette we are C8 Corvette owners and are on 3 lists for the C8 Z06 and will be purchasing each C8 Corvette variation.
Check out this new Cat Back Exhaust system from MBRP for the C8 Corvette.
Per their video CORVETTE C8 // MBRP 3″ Cat-Back Exhaust description
If you want the best value in a sports car, it’s gotta be the C8.
If you want the best value in your C8 exhaust, it’s gotta be MBRP’s 3″ cat-back! This exhaust is aggressive! This is going to turn heads anywhere you go, but inside the cabin, it’s still moderate for long drives thanks, in part, to some great engineering by the MBRP design team with the X-pipe’s form.
Available only in our top-tier T304 stainless steel with carbon fiber tips, enjoy being covered by our lifetime warranty!
Check out this video by Wheels Boutique in Miami Florida where a customer Joe from New York sends down his C8 Corvette straight to them from the dealer.
From there they do all of the following mods for him so he can fly down and get the car already built out. We posted another Wheels Boutique video when they built out another C8 Corvette and compared it vs a Ferrari Portofino.

Considered the best in the business, my C8 gets the Fabspeed Valvetronic exhaust installed. Let me tell you this is INSANE! LOUD AF and exotic sounding. This is of course coupled with my 2M sport cats.
Today, Borla shared this video on why it took so long for them to make a cat back exhaust for the C8 Corvette and what the difference is with their system vs. other C8 catback exhausts.
They were looking for a more exotic car sound and they wanted to make sure the NPP valves with the different touring, sport, and track modes were used properly with the AFM valves. They have intercooled exhaust tips and wanted to make C8 Corvette owners didn’t have to worry about the heat produced from the cat back exhaust.
Check out this video reveal of the new Lingenfelter C8 Exhaust cat back system.
We know they were testing with Corsa Performance exhausts and Vossen Wheels with their Lingenfelter C8 Corvette so maybe this is a similar version with a different tone then the Corsa Performance exhaust?
Check out their Video reveal of their new Lingenfelter Extreme C8 Exhaust
We have worked with Corsa Performance to create the best C8 exhausts on the market. The Lingenfelter Extreme exhaust series features REAL performance gains, no check engine lights, weight savings, and so much more!
Since then they have made high end quality sport cats and a straight piped cat back exhaust that was the same exhaust StreetSpeed717 put on his C8 Corvette.
Now Soul Performance just launched their Valved Exhaust for people that want to be able to switch to the the loudest C8 Corvette exhaust on the market and back to daily driving mode and a lot quieter tone.

Our Valved Exhaust System and Sport Catalytic Converters offer increases in power and sound with no compromises or check engine lights.
Enjoy a respectable gain in V8 rumble, throttle response, and power for your C8 Corvette.
DEVELOPMENT GOALS -Improve upon the factory design to increase and refine the V8 tone.
-Increase the presence and character of the exhaust note in the cabin while maintaining a reasonable level of resonance / drone while driving in both the valves closed and open modes through our signature drone fighting capabilities.
-Heighten aggressiveness with valves open while maintaining an overall sound level potential / quality that can still be reasonably driven on the street in combination with other complimentary aftermarket exhaust components – such as Sport Catalytic Converters or headers.
-Offer the ability to notably reduce the sound level of the car outside to fly under the radar when necessary.
-Achieve an effective delta in sound between both modes for two usable, well engineered experiences – mild and wild. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
With valves closed, the exhaust is routed through a bespoke SOUL chambered muffler we designed with an internal X-Pipe to meet our sound goals. This unique muffler was crafted to match our high standard of drone fighting mufflers that we are known for in the Porsche world. We tested a more traditional perforated core muffler design as well but the carefully engineered chambers of the final muffler result in a more aggressive sound on and off throttle with reduced undesirable tones.
With valves open, exhaust flow is free to exit through 3″ piping for a thunderous roar. Secondary flow through the muffler and x-pipe reduces rasp and smooths the exhaust note for a higher pitched, more refined sound. The end result is two distinct and enjoyable sound modes – mild and wild.
AFM valve deletes are included for the factory exhaust valves (designed to limit flow in four-cylinder mode) in order to delete them without triggering a check engine light. Due to the close proximity of the exhaust to sensitive components and plastic, heat shields are a MUST.
We’ve partnered with PTP Turbo Blankets to produce a bespoke, form-fitting heat shielding solution. Far superior to no-name brand copies, PTP Lava Turbo Blankets are constructed with an outer layer made from pulverized volcanic lava rock (Rated 1800°F Direct Heat / 2500°F Radiant Heat) formed into fabric and woven into a tight mesh weave. These blankets are internally insulated with high temperature calcium magnesium silicate wool (Rated 1832°F Continuous / 2300°F Peak) overlaid with a high temperature stainless steel mesh for increased durability and improved thermal resistance. The Lava Blankets are designed to withstand the harshest of conditions.
CONSTRUCTION: Each component is made in-house by our fabrication team from mandrel bent .060″ wall T304L stainless steel tubing, laser cut brackets, and waterjet cut flanges. Welds are back purged for proper penetration and maximum durability. Our 4″ double wall stainless steel tips are available in a number of finishes and have depth adjustment for perfect fitment to meet your desired aesthetic.
FINISHES: SOUL tips are available in several styles and finishes. Natural finishes options include polishing, hand-brushing, and a matte Signature Satin. Black tips are ceramic coated with Jet-Hot for maximum bonding strength and increased finish durability. Looking for something unique?
