If you didn’t properly clip the taillight harness when you hung the bumper back up, it will slide down and cause a gap on the passenger side. I had to pull my bumper back off and the harness plugs fell in between the bumper and support. There’s posts about this on a few forums.
Welcome to the Corsa family Mike, I have had my Corsa Extreme muffler delete catback with AFM valves on my 2022 Corvette Stingray 1LT since about 4 months ago and I have been loving it ever since !!! :)
On the fence about borla atak and corsa. Why do some of the muffler delete style corsa say for npp? I can see in the picture that it has places for the afm and npp valves. Part 21106blk to be exact. Do you guys know if this is a new xtreme that has npp incorporated or just simulated? Thanks for the transfer of knowledge with your video, she sounds awesome!
I have ALWAYS been a car and truck guy, trucking was my career, just one of the reason we sub. to both your channels.That sounds AWESOME great job Mike👍👍
I’ve been doing some research on the best exhaust and have constantly looked at the Corsa as a main contender. I finally yesterday found a dealer that had a C8 with a Corsa and test drove it. Your video sounds so close to what it sounds like in real life. However, of course, my actual experience was incredible. Now I am watching your sound clips and I’m convincing myself to make the jump! 😂 it is a little sad, knowing that these cars can sound like this, but are stifled from the factory.
@@mikesgarage6331 if you go Corsa aka Lingenfelter by Corsa you can’t go wrong and you’ll love it! Also a better filter in the intake box is a plus. 👍🏽 I have the Attack Blue
When you reinstall the bumper you have to make aure the wires are right in the channel where they belong thats how you get that gap back where its supposed to be
I went with Lingenfelter by Corsa Extreme w/black tips and love it! Graham Rahal’s shop GRP did my install back in 2021. I also run Attack Blue air filter which makes an even better sounding car with it. Even GRP asked what I had done as mine sounded different and better than their two previous installs and now they keep the filters on hand to offer for those who upgrade. Enjoy it and rumble on….
Great job Mike. I think I'm gonna just change out my tips, as they are the reason for the quiet sound that the car has. However, your C8 sounds amazing.
Good job. No way I would have the nerve to tackle a project like that. So what would you estimate in time how long it should take if I took mine to a GM dealership to do? Thanks.
What a fabulous video, Mike! You verified what I already knew, that is that there’s no way I could do the installation of an aftermarket exhaust system on my C8 myself. You also confirmed that I definitely need to replace mine. My factory non-NPP exhaust is embarrassingly quiet. A C8 should not sound like a Prius. Any regrets now after the fact? Well done!
You dont put heat shield around the x pipe, do you have issue with the bumper melting with heat!? If you want some more quiet ride and monster deeper sound when you feel it, take a look on the Borla Attak kit with the AFM and NPP valve. The best of two world!!!
مرحبا .. انا من المملكة العربية السعودية 🇸🇦 لقد اعجبني التغير و صوت المحرك الجديد انت قمت بعمل رائع - هل تنصحني بقتناء مثل هذي السيارة انها تعجبني كثيراً وكم سعرها
When the engine goes to 4 cylinder eco mode is there cabin drone? Mine doesnt have factory performance exhaust.and.concerned.how it will sound in eco.mode.
I've yet to build a C8 Model kit,but I have built the Revell 14 C7 as well as the AMT 63 C2 Split Window Fuelie model kits... Both came out fairly decent I think...
Great video…also contemplating doing a switch to a louder rumble. Out of curiosity on your drive, we’re you mostly in Z mode? If so, is it still the same in regular/tour mode?
“Let’s pull er outside and get some heat in the engine” is the best way to say “let’s take er for a spin” I’ve ever heard 😮

She looks and sounds EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE!!.. awesome job!!

👌 it sure changed the car. Love it.
@@mikesgarage6331 I totally agree about it changing the car and making the driving experience more enjoyable !!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Thanks for following 😀
Sounds AWESOME … Love it 💕
I once watched a single individual man remove the back bumper in two hours and 43 minutes. Chevrolet quoted me 12 hours of labor. God bless America.
Great job Mike 😊
Nice fleet of Vettes!!
Love the spec! Classic and clean. Nice job
I like the round tips so much better than the square ones. Looks and sounds awesome.
Yeah the square ones are lame.
that vette line up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I wish the camera could capture how loud and aggressive it sounds. My wife absolutely loves the new exhaust.

I'm getting the 2M Cat Back without the Valves. The videos I saw looked pretty good.
Hi Mike, I have the exact same Z51 carbon fiber license plate frame on my 2023 C8. I absolutely like it as well good quality and good look.
Awesome looking and sounding ! Hard to beat red with gloss black wheels . All it needs now is a procharger!

i did the same
maggie on top with lingenfelter
smoke any c8 z06 out there !!!!!
Great job Mike. I think I'm gonna just change out my tips, as they are the reason for the quiet sound that the car has. However, your C8 sounds amazing.
I wish the camera could show how loud it is its wild in person
This is why I just paid a shop $400 to install my Paragon touring exhaust. I’m in Toronto. Same red C8.
Awesome, I had my first service done at my local shop and they got oil all over the underside. I don't trust them
Sounds nice with the exhaust upgrade
I think so too!
Hey Mike, did you figure out the passenger side gap issue? I think I’m having it too, and I do NOT want to take the bumper off again.
Thanks. Joe
Good job. No way I would have the nerve to tackle a project like that. So what would you estimate in time how long it should take if I took mine to a GM dealership to do? Thanks.
I'd say six hrs tops
Awesome Mike 👍🏽

No regrets, it is loud but that's exactly what I wanted. When not In Zmode with the top up its comfortable
You dont put heat shield around the x pipe, do you have issue with the bumper melting with heat!?
If you want some more quiet ride and monster deeper sound when you feel it, take a look on the Borla Attak kit with the AFM and NPP valve. The best of two world!!!
I wish mine had the NPP valves sometimes Its nice to make it quiet
Nice but black tips would of made it look even better but
Still very nice
مرحبا .. انا من المملكة العربية السعودية 🇸🇦

Where does the other part of the afm actuator valve connect to the part around the 19:00 mark im having trouble with this part.
7:37 I caught that before wife had that great reply! 🤣
Totally get it!
Nice work!!!
What rear spoiler do you have installed?
38:12 both said nah at the same time 🤣
any clue what the factory muffler costs? Looks very expensive
Lemans is louder lol, has a better tone. This one is cool too though!
When the engine goes to 4 cylinder eco mode is there cabin drone? Mine doesnt have factory performance exhaust.and.concerned.how it will sound in eco.mode.
Do drone in 4xyl mode bec it keeps the valves for them.
Do you have the link that I can buy the exhaust and do you need simulator for this set up thanks
What kind of spoiler do you have on the c8?
it sounds heaps better can't believe the size of the muffler you took off hah
Yeah it's crazy how big it is.
You can switch the AFM valves to a non AFM corsa set ?
I have the catback corsa extreme and Maggie on my HTC C8 z51 like a mahhhhfukkkkah
Hello Mike. 👋
Hi 👋
@mikesgarage6331 what you going to do with this channel
did the snap ring come as part from your Corsa exhaust system?
It came off the car
I've yet to build a C8 Model kit,but I have built the Revell 14 C7 as well as the AMT 63 C2 Split Window Fuelie model kits... Both came out fairly decent I think...
I've also built the Revell 53 C1,Revell 60 C1,AMT 70 C3 LT1,MPC 78 C3 25th Anniversary,Monogram 85 C4,Monogram 91 C4 ZR1,Revell 93 C5 Stingray Prototype, and Testors 97 C5 Corvette kits...
How tall are ? Fit in the C8 ok?
Great video…also contemplating doing a switch to a louder rumble. Out of curiosity on your drive, we’re you mostly in Z mode? If so, is it still the same in regular/tour mode?
I had it in Z mode. But it's the same in tour mode because I don't ha e the valves.
It sounds like GETER DONE.
You are very brave to install an aftermarket exhaust by yourself on a 100k C8.
How is the drone noise in the cabin?
If you are in normal mode it's fine. Z mode definitely gets noizy
Can’t really see the plate
Thank God I Didn't Have To Do This With The Borla System On My Camaro Lol. Do Yourself A Favor And Delete The AFM
NO OFFENSE,...BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRACTOR IDLING!! NEEDS A BIGGER CAM!!😊
not a fan of corsa exhaust on any corvette. id prefer borla atak
I haven't heard the borla
Typical youtubers spend half the video talking about nonsense when the title says somerhing else.
I would not be proud of not driving my car. Change your tires, they aged out.
