Description
SOUL’s C8 Corvette Valved Exhaust gives two distinct tones through a bespoke chambered X-pipe muffler. With the valves closed, exhaust is routed through the SOUL chambered muffler with its internal X-pipe for refined cruising with minimal drone. With the valves open, flow exits through 3 in piping for a thunderous V8 roar, while secondary flow through the muffler and X-pipe smooths rasp for a higher pitched, more refined note. AFM valve deletes are included, the system is wrapped in form-fitting PTP Lava heat blankets, and 4 in double wall tips come in a choice of finish and cut. It is designed and built in-house in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.

Good to know
- For cars with the factory NPP exhaust only. Check your car’s build sheet for NPP before ordering.
- SOUL notes that an AFM check engine light code may appear after fitting an aftermarket rear exhaust to a C8; a dealer may need to recalibrate the AFM codes, which SOUL says takes about 15 minutes.
- SOUL publishes no emissions statement or CARB EO number for this system; check local emissions and noise rules before fitting.
- Professional installation recommended; installation is not included.
