Muffler Delete on Corvette (pics/vids)

[GerryC]

Decided to perform some minor surgery on my 88 coupe and pull out the reproduction stockers, 1. because they've began to rust, and 2. because they just look ugly. This completes the a full catback install

You may want to shield your eyes at how dirty the car is... I haven't done any kind of detailing on the vette since september, but that's next on my to-do list and expect a topic dedicated to that soon

88's had the L98 right? Last one befor the LT1 if I remember correctly

[GerryC]

Yup, L-98

[BlueGenCoupe]

That sounds mean! I like

[Chris@Adams]

Nice Gerry!

[Adam]

Go Gerry!!!

[Chewy]

Sounds good!  Any drone?  That's usually the biggest downfall to going sans mufflers.  I suppose you could always work in a Helmholtz chamber if you had to. 

[Team Adam's]

Nice work Gerry, and drone at highway speeds would be a concern of mine as well.

[GerryC]

It's pretty insignificant drone if any. Then again, the windows are always down when I drive the vette, so between the exhaust and the wind buffeting inside the cabin, who knows lol. Sounds good from the outside, that's all I really care about. I should take newer videos since these are quite old and lower quality.

[Chewy]

Is the car otherwise stock?  

[Gen9Rolla]

Nice, that sounds great!

[GerryC]

Is the car otherwise stock?  

 

Yes, besides the exhaust and the brakes, everything that needed repair was either refurbished, or replaced with OEM
