Description
The SOUL Performance Rear Exhaust System replaces the factory rear exhaust on the C8 Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X. It is a non-valved system that starts at 3 in to meet the factory-style downpipes and opens up to 3.5 in through the primary tip outlets, with 3 in secondary outlets, for maximum flow and a fuller flat-plane crank V8 sound. SOUL builds it in-house in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, and quotes about 20 lb against roughly 60 lb for the factory components.
