This Borla Cat-Back exhaust system (PN 140017) replaces the factory exhaust from the catalytic converters back for 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 coupes and convertibles, including Z06 models with 5.7L V8 automatic or manual transmissions. It delivers an aggressive Stinger sound through S-Type mufflers, increases horsepower and torque, enhances fuel economy, and extends engine life with refined motorsport styling. Experience the Borla Sound of Power that Corvette enthusiasts demand, with a NASCAR-like growl on every throttle press.
Key Features
- Aggressive S-Type Sound: Straight-through muffler design produces a deep, powerful rumble recognized by Vette owners nationwide, dubbed the "Stinger" for its intense tone without drone.
- T-304 Stainless Steel Construction: Premium austenitic material resists corrosion better than 400-series or aluminized steel, ensuring lifelong durability in all conditions.
- 2.500" Mandrel-Bent Tubing: Full 2.5-inch diameter inlet/outlet/tailpipe maximizes exhaust flow for measurable gains in power, torque, and efficiency over stock systems.
- Polished 4.5" T-304 Tips: Dual center rear exit with split rear positioning adds motorsport flair and complements the C5's aggressive stance.
- Million-Mile Warranty: All-welded assembly backed by Borla's famous transferable warranty, assembled in the USA with patented race-winning technology.
