C5 Corvette Stainless Works Exhaust - S-Tube

Stainless Works VC5CHAM Chambered Axle-Back Exhaust for the 1997–2004 C5 Corvette Rear Exit

The Stainless Works VC5CHAM axle-back exhaust is built for 1997–2004 C5 Corvette owners who want an aggressive tone from a chambered muffler design while keeping the upgrade focused on the rear section. This setup replaces the exhaust from the two-bolt flange in front of the rear axle back to the tips and finishes with a quad rear-exit layout.
