C8 Corvette Stingray NPP Valved Cat-Back Exhaust with Quad Stainless Tips (2020-2026)
Already have the NPP exhaust and want more out of it? The AutoSpeed Performance Series Cat-Back Exhaust, ASP-EXH-CBK-GM-0001-PS, is a valved cat-back for the 2020-2026 C8 Corvette Stingray with the 6.2L LT2 engine. It runs on your factory valves, so your quiet and loud modes stay exactly where they are.
With the valves open the note comes in deeper and louder than the factory NPP system gives on its own. Close them and the exhaust routes through three chambers in each muffler before it reaches the tips. Out back, four polished stainless tips sit 4.5 inches across in the rear fascia, slanted dual wall with the AutoSpeed logo embossed into the face.

What to Expect

Important Exhaust Notes
- Your car supplies the valve actuators. The kit ships valve bodies without motors and reuses your factory AFM and NPP actuators. A Stingray without factory NPP cannot use this system.
- No tune is required.
- A valve relearn is required. Your AFM and NPP valves are relearned with an OBD scan tool, per GM Document ID #5406413. Skipping it can cause a check engine light and damage the valves. Any Chevrolet dealer can do it.
- Professional installation recommended. About three hours on a lift, with the rear wheels, wheel liners, air deflectors and rear bumper fascia off.
- The install guide gives a torque figure for every joint, 44 lb-in through 60 lb-ft, including 75 lb-in on each actuator bracket. Have a torque wrench ready for those figures.
- Re-torque the tip clamps after the first heat cycle.
