Stainless Works VC53CBQUAD Turbo Muffler Axle-Back Exhaust for the 1997–2004 C5 Corvette with Quad Conical Tips
The Stainless Works VC53CBQUAD axle-back is built for 1997–2004 C5 Corvette owners who want a moderate sound level with a turbo-style muffler design and a clean quad-tip rear exit. This setup replaces the exhaust from the two-bolt flange in front of the rear axle back to the tips, keeping the upgrade focused on the rear section of the system.
