Borla Straight Pipe Cat-Back Exhaust (12649) - 1997-2004 C5 Corvette & Z06
The Borla Straight Pipe Cat-Back Exhaust for the 1997-2004 C5 Corvette and C5 Z06 delivers one of the most aggressive exhaust notes ever offered for the platform. This system ELIMINATES the mufflers entirely, replacing them with straight-through rear sections for maximum volume, maximum flow, and an unmistakable race-bred sound. Designed for all C5 models - coupe, convertible, and Z06 - this system fits both automatic and manual transmissions.
This 2.5" diameter Cat-Back system unleashes the full character of the LS1 and LS6 engines, producing a raw, high-energy exhaust note that transforms the driving experience. Each rear section features a single 4" polished T-304 stainless steel rolled angle-cut lined tip for a bold, motorsport-inspired appearance. This system is not for the faint of heart - it's built for drivers who want the loudest, most aggressive sound available from Borla.
Borla's racing heritage is deeply rooted in the C5 platform, with decades of engineering experience drawn from C5-R Le Mans programs and partnerships with legendary builders like Pratt & Miller, Lingenfelter, KTEC, and Lou Gigliotti. That expertise is reflected in the airflow efficiency, durability, and precision fitment of this system. Constructed from premium T-304 austenitic stainless steel, it offers superior corrosion resistance and long-term performance compared to lower-grade materials.
