Had my 99 Corvette hardtop for 3 years now and had resisted the urge to tinker with it much. The all black interior was a little boring so last spirng I snatched up some replacement pieces to brighten things up a bit.

Took these out.....

All my completed pics with the seats installed are out of focus but here is what I'm really excited about. These parts are on the brown truck coming to me now,

I already have a cat-back exhaust that sounds good but this system should be good for and additional 25-30 rear wheel horsepower and an equal improvement in torque.

Here's the kicker,

QTP exhaust cut-outs that will dump right in front of the rear axle under the tranny.

Looking forward to better weather to get everything installed and tuned!

The way it looks today, Z06 wheels are the only exterior mod so far,

If my wallet can take the hit, I have a line on a set of like new Pfadt adjustable coil-overs that will close up the gap between the fenders and tires plus give me the ability to corner weigh the car for optimal handling.

If I come visit Austin again in the future you better take me for a ride in it :D

My buddy used to have an '01 several years back. It was a pretty plain jane vette (pewter with bland wheels) but was super fun to drive!

Then what happens?


I have a 95 SS that has been my wife's daily driver for the last 17 years. It's showing it's age but I like it. 197,000 miles on the odometer.

The dumps were what caught my eye on this system. Besides being expensive to buy new, it's difficult and costly to install in the limited space of a
C5 Vette. The guy I got these from not only did an exceptional job of welding them up but then he had the entire system Jet-Hot coated.
