They just keep killing it...WOW
Definitely one way to make your StingRay stand out from the crowd
Great customer questions and answers. Great job by all. Great install video as always.👍👍👍
Thank you Larry!
Great install!
SOLD!
I'm sold if awe makes the exhaust
Jorts looking good as always!
We agree!
Very good! Loved it but I'm a little intimidated by removing my bumper. You make it look easy but I've learned my limits. I'd love to install the screens over the intakes in front but again, Don't want to mess with it.
We understand your hesitation. If you ever decide to change your mind just watch the video a few times over and you'll have a good understanding of the procedure.
Lemans makes a center exhaust where you can still use your OEM diffuser, slight modification of the center. And the exhaust sounds killer!
The Lemans Edition exhaust requires you to cut your OEM rear valance where we use a all new OEM piece from GM. With our kit you can always go back to OEM side exit if you choose.
@@ParagonPerformance exactly why I said slight modification. I’m not sure why anyone would want to go back to the stock one. I also hate extra parts laying around taking up space. The Lemans kit is also $1,000 less. One could buy another rear diffuser with the savings. Both companies are great kits, was just sharing another option. I have the Lemans being installed soon. This one is great as well.
You're really fast at shooting down those screws. Like the Flash.😂😂😂 Are you all planning or thinking about making a wet carbon fiber version of this?
We don't plan on making a Carbon Fiber Rear Valance. The piece used is a OEM unit.
@ParagonPerformance ok thank you for that. So the OEM Z06 rear valance will fit the stingray. That's good to know.
On the fence about this one because the cars look good either way to me.
It's a great kit for those who want the center exit look!
Does it sound tye same? Is it considered a performance exhaust or just for looks? Thanks
Great question! Sounds the same as our touring exhaust with similar hp gains.

Looks good for those that wanted a center option.. On a side note I see you guys made a nice very light wight Ti non-valved exhaust, but not a valved version. I see you have one from another CO that is very $$$ , but why didnt you offer attachments for your other system? Also, I know the E-ray is not out yet but is the system and measurements the same? thanks
Making a valved exhaust either from Ti or Stainless will increase the cost greatly.
The center exit will work for the E-Ray!
That is a beauty!!!! Quick question, if I wanted this set up, and was ordering a new vette from factory, would I avoid paying extra and upgrading to the OEM performance exhaust?
We would recommend skipping the performance exhaust as we replace it anyway and lose valve control
@@ParagonPerformance the answer I was looking for, thank you!!!
Scared for temps so close to the DCT with no heat shield.Whats the weight vs your other solution? Looks great!
We’ve track tested our touring exhaust at multiple locations with 20min sessions with 0 issues. The avg user won’t see those temps on street.
Our center exit weights in at 25lbs where our touring is 32lbs.

@@ParagonPerformance thanks man, will likely be grabbing the touring at some point!
If we wanted to install a CF z06 bumper would it be possible to buy this kit without the diffuser? If not can the part numbers for the vent be provided or purchased elsewhere?
Sounds like you just want the exhaust portion.

Center exhaust looks correct - but what does it sound like?
Sounds practically identical to our touring/track system.
- Justin
Any horsepower/torque increase? Also if you have a diffuser will it still fit?
Similar to the touring in power increase. It will not work with the Verus Engineering Rear Diffuser.
Do you have a carbon fiber diffuser option instead of the carbon flash?
We don’t as this uses OEM Parts for the highest quality possible.
I want that done to my C8. Is there a place in Michigan that can install this???
We would recommend asking a local Facebook group or any of the big C8 groups. You could save yourself the money and do it at home, it's "simple" enough to do in your garage and we have these awesome install videos made for you so you can follow along.
will this kit works with the awe track exhaust?
At this time we are only offering the kit with our Paragon Exhaust
I’m here in California, any idea if this will this be a problem for me?
We don't see why it would be. Check your local laws and regulations.
Does this change the sound at all or just the look?
Both sound and look!
Here's a video that showcases the sound.

Can you upgrade the exhaust with this center kit?
The kit comes with our Paragon Exhaust only at this time
Does it affect the sound of the exhaust at all?
Louder, very similar to our touring/track
does it increase some hp?
Yup! Similar to or touring version. Gains up to 14whp & 16 wtq.
- Justin
Is there increased drone with this kit?
From our testing we didn't hear any drone however in V4 mode there may be an audible back pressure like sound
@@ParagonPerformance when do you anticipate there will be more in stock?
@@Sam-rr7sl No ETA at this time.
No sound clip?
Sounds the same as our touring or track version.

@@ParagonPerformance oh, ok. Thank you for the clarification. Sound clip should have been in that vid though lol
Why didn’t GM just do this in the first place when designing the Stingray?
Chev should have done this from the beginning
Agreed but we now have a proper fix for it!
Why is the title of this video C8 Corvette Stingray Center Exit Exhaust Conversion Install! when that is exactly what you are not doing.
Valid point.
So after all that work and spending all that money..
Not to mention that you can damage the bumper…
WHAT DO YOU GAIN BY CHANGING ALL THAT…..
Leave it original….
Simply don’t damage the bumper. It’s a really straight forward install.
You gain a center exit z06 style exhaust
I agree with you 150%
