Understanding Your C7 Performance Exhaust Options

Chevrolet's research and development team put extensive effort into increasing the quality and sound of their stock C7 exhaust system. Stingrays are available with "Factory NPP" (Nuclear Propulsion Package) or "Standard Non-NPP" options. The terminology might seem a little confusing, but all you need to know is that NPP is a multi-mode exhaust that can either limit your sound or kick it into high gear.

By using a special valve, your C7 Corvette exhaust effectively can "open up," allowing your performance car to have a more aggressive exhaust note when you want attention and behave more quietly when you don't.

While many aftermarket exhaust systems for the C7 ignore this fantastic feature, the expert acoustic engineers at CORSA have been able to incorporate it into their C7 performance exhaust options. The following CORSA Corvette C7 exhaust systems replace the dual-mode NPP option, allowing owners to customize their exhaust to suit the moment with both "Touring" and "Track" sound level modes.

The Best Aftermarket Exhaust for C7 Corvette Z06, ZR1 & GS Manual Models

Our top pick for the best aftermarket exhaust for the C7 Corvette Z06, ZR1 and Grand Sport Manual is the 2015-2019 2.75 Inch Axle-Back Quad Exhaust With 4.5 Inch Tips. Over a year's worth of engineering created this C7 exhaust to ensure it works in tandem with the car's dual-mode NPP wiring harness.

What makes this system great is the impressive overall performance gains that take your Stingray to entirely new heights. After installation, you can expect an impressive four-horsepower gain over your stock C7 exhaust, thanks to the 23.06% exhaust flow increase. In turn, you'll see an immediate torque boost as well. You also have an option to add an X-pipe for even more increased exhaust flow and performance.

Performance gains are essential to many drivers, but where this CORSA Corvette C7 exhaust system shines the most is in its sound. The acoustic engineers at CORSA PERFORMANCE have worked tirelessly to create the optimal exhaust notes for all the variable sound modes the C7 offers.

With their patented Reflective Sound Cancellation™ (RSC™) technology, various chambers reverse the exhaust's sound waves, which cancels out all the unwanted drone that can ruin drives. If you're C7 is outfitted with NPP, you'll see a 17dB difference between open- and closed-valve modes.

This C7 Corvette exhaust system comes with quad, 4 1/2-inch Pro-Series resonator tips in either polished 304 stainless steel or PVD black finish. The rest of the design is just as refined, made from high-quality, durable and corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel that will last years after installation.

You can also purchase the 2015-2019 2.75 Inch Axle-Back Quad Exhaust With 4.5 Inch Tips Without NPP for the same performance gains.
