Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CORSA 14961?

The CORSA 14961 is an Xtreme axle-back exhaust for the 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 Z06 with the 5.7L V8, delivering the most aggressive exhaust character in the CORSA lineup through polished tips using RSC technology.

Does the 14961 fit the standard C5 Corvette or only the Z06?

The 14961 is designed specifically for the C5 Z06. The standard C5 Corvette has a different rear configuration and uses a different CORSA part number.

How does the Xtreme sound level compare to Sport?

Xtreme is CORSA's most aggressive sound level, delivering maximum exhaust character suited for track and performance driving. Sport delivers a compelling but more street-comfortable note.

Does installation require cutting or welding?

No. The CORSA 14961 is a direct bolt-on axle-back at factory mounting points on the C5 Z06.

Is a tune required?

No. The 14961 retains factory catalytic converters and does not alter engine management.

What warranty does the 14961 carry?

CORSA provides a limited lifetime warranty on the 14961 against defects in materials and workmanship.

How does the 14961 differ from the 14962?

The 14961 is an axle-back system. The 14962 is a full cat-back plus X-pipe system for the C5 Z06, replacing more of the exhaust for additional flow and sound.

How does the 14961 differ from the 14961BLK?

Identical fitment and sound. The 14961 uses polished tips; the 14961BLK uses matte black PVD tips.

Installation Instructions

  1. Safely raise and support the Corvette on rated jack stands or a lift
  2. Allow the factory exhaust to cool completely
  3. Disconnect the factory axle-back at the factory junction
  4. Remove factory muffler and tip assembly
