That’s awesome. I was leaning toward the track but ended up with touring. It was a tough choice. A friend had the track and it was awesome! Loud and mean!
As far as this silver in the back of the mufflers, I think a good old can of heat, black spray paint, would work just as good for $5. Instead of tape. That's probably gonna eventually come off. This is my opinion only.
The shields from Paragon isn’t a “sticker.” It’s a highly malleable, lightweight, heat resistant material . It’s not a civic. Bypass the paint and spend the 30 bones. 😂
Great upload my AY brother. Looks and sounds great. Exhaust and maybe cats is one the of the few mods I would do later, but worried about some of the high flow cats and some saying they can melt and nuke an engine.. who knows..lol
Hey Jason, another great one. You, Steve, and Justin have me sold on AWE track exhaust. If I keep my Stingray it will be the one I go with. BTW my car was built on 6/12 and I’m taking delivery at the museum on 6/27! Your car is really next level brother! Keep up the great work.
@@lewislgZ06 oh… gotcha. That is one of my favorite colors. I almost did AO instead of AY. Only did AY because I wanted to do the same scheme as on my C7Z06.
Thanks Jason. I meant to say AWE touring. I’m sure the track is awesome too, but I plan to do some traveling in this one, and want it to be civil on the highway. Maybe one day I’ll make it down to one of your events in DFW and get to meet you.
Love your spec. and content. We all know sound and aesthetics are subjective. With that being said, I used to be big into these aftermarket systems, but I am sticking with the stock Tenneco system. I was listening to a Borla ATAK and it sounded like a UPS truck with an an exhaust leak.
Jason, do you know? Or can you ask Keith or Robert at Corvette World? Will the Mild to Wild Modification work on the C8? Will the Mild to Wild Modification Void Any C8 Warranty? I’ve seen information about the M2W for the C8 on the Corvette Forum, but the talk is, it doesn’t work. Something about a 3 prong plug for the fuse box and other functions are tied into the #20 & #21 locations. (I had M2W on my 2009 C6 and it worked great.) AWE definitely looks like a great move! I’m probably not going to make a purchase until I see if I get an ERAY Allocation! Have to save the money for the Car and Options. Although Carlisle would probably be the place to get it because I hear you get a free install, but I’d want to keep the stock parts and getting them home would be an issue. Thanks for recommending the Taco Bell Rice & Bean Burrito. The wife has a Lady’s Night Dinner planned for Wednesday. I think I’ll try Taco Bell. A Burrito and a Taco or two will be on my menu selections. I got my ticket for Carlisle in late February. I hope to get there on Friday. I live about 145 miles away and the PA Turnpike makes it an easier drive. I imagine Justin might have his ZO6 by then unless the C8 Jinx shows up. Race Ramps should use your Poster for Advertising. It is Over The Top!!! An 11 on the 1-10 Scale! You and Steve Nailed It.
Lol. Yeah. We had a blast taking this pics. We definitely need to reach out to race ramps. 🤣 Enjoy that Taco Bell. My home away from home. Lol I’ll text Robert and Keith and see what they know about the Mild to Wild for the C8. And I don’t blame you on holding $ for the E-Ray. I am hoping to get it as well. Fingers crossed.
@@FrontSeatDriver 6/16/2023 AM. I sent a text to my salesperson saying I was still interested in both the ERAY & ZO6. I asked to be informed about the ERAY Pricing once the dealership gets any information. I’m #1 on their List for the ERAY and now #3 at the dealership for a ZO6 as one lucky customer ahead of me recently got a TPW of 6/26. Probably the Allocation for the ERAY will come before the ZO6 as this dealership is very small in terms of the number of allocations they receive, especially for the ZO6. They sold only 8 C8s for the 2022 model year and one of those was mine. I’m lucky to have inquired February of 2022 when I took delivery of my C8, because I was the first person to ask about the ERAY at their dealership. Also at that time, I asked about placing a deposit. But because little ERAY information was really available, they didn’t request a deposit. I’m looking forward to hearing about the ERAY, but my luck will be the allocation for the ZO6 will probably come through while I’m waiting for my ERAY to go into Production. It will then be decision time. A lot will also depend on how I feel! I’ll still be fighting P.C. ♋️ and a lot depends on how’s the Chemo going. Sometimes I’m feeling so weak; the Meds I’m taking make me feel ill, I can’t enjoy the C8 Stingray. But, the wife (Who’s actually not really much of a car person) has been a cheerleader. She’s behind whatever I want to get. I retired in 2010 at age 55 after 33 years as a LEO. I knew I had a Cyst on my Pancreas back in 2007, but didn’t know what was going to “medically hit me”/being Diagnosed in 2018. The wife is 4 years younger and plans to keep working at least until her retirement; which some days might be tomorrow or could be years away….. It all depends on how she feels. She can walk away when she wants to. So this next Vehicle, if it turns out to be a C8, will be a color she wants: Riptide Blue, “Red” (but not Red Mist since the 2022 C8 is Red Mist), or anything other than: Yellow, Orange, Black, Brown, White, or Green….. YES NO CACTI LOL….. What does that leave? Blue or Red I think? Riptide I believe has the “Top Choice Award”/Is In The Lead at this point! (I’m good with that or I’m for: Torch Red, Another Red Mist or Black with any Paint Correction & PPF ASAP Upon Delivery.)
Jason, Your car is really looking and sounding 🔥 my friend! It's good to know there's a market for the OEM black tip exhaust. Helps recoup a little money from the new AWE! It looks so much better with the blacked out area and inner tips too! 89 👍 Currently -Shane
Was your stock exhaust a performance exhaust from GM? Mine sounds OK when I leave it on My mode which is track exhaust sound. When I have the so-called performance exhaust dialed for that
Actually, there’s no difference since it doesn’t have the NPP. THE baffles are wide open all the time. I didn’t think about that when I mentioned Z mode in the video. Sat July 1st. Texas Harley again. 4-7 pm.
I have the AWE exhaust on my Silverado ZR2 and absolutely love it. My first car was a 71 Chevelle with an L48 350 that I put headers and glass packs on, and I've always had a good exhaust on my trucks so I had to do something on the very quiet ZR2. Even though it was a little louder than what I was expecting on my truck, I have grown to really love the sound and think it would all the more so sound amazing on my C8, too. Definitely helps to have a lift and the proper tools to do the job. I also noticed you removed the AWE logo on the back heat shield; (or unless they stopped putting it there?) I would definitely want to remove that like you did, as well.
Sounds like your Chevelle was awesome!! I love classics. The C8 definitely needs some pep in the exhaust sound. You’d love it like on your ZR2. We actually removed the AWE. It’s nothing against them, it’s on the tips. Plus we’re happy to be part of the AWE family but it just didn’t look good inside like that. We make sure EVERYONE knows it’s AWEsome. 😁
It makes a big difference. Steve Kept telling me it was worth it and I was like yeah, whatever. But now that it’s on and I really hear it!!! Yes, definitely worth it.
So Jason you're a few weeks into your new AWE Exhaust. do you still think you made the right choice on your exhaust? I'm leaning towards AWE and want to have an instal done while i'm in Carlisle. I know Justin was a big fan as well... Well that was before he started dealing with Paragon lol...
I do. It’s louder than the quiet GM exhaust but I can still hear if I’m on the phone when I’m driving. Honestly though, if the track exhaust had NPP, I’d have gone track.
I don’t have one but I would like to do one with that and also an exterior sound while driving. I do plan to do that at some point. Only downside is that cameras don’t always produce an accurate sound.
Gr8 vid. Interesting that your tips had to be bolted on, and Steve’s were welded on and put his in months ago. My tips came welded on as well. Guess they are maybe still shipping out old stock? 🤷🏼♂️ Either way I know you’re much happier!
Yeah, I’m getting ready to order my car and I noticed General Motors offers some off market exhaust systems right from the factory. Would you recommend doing that?
It did not. But I left mine there for another C8 that had it installed on his car. I sold it for $150. I could have gotten a lot more but it was going to a nice guy.
Hey there! Came across your video looking for exhausts. I’m ordering a 25c8 and deciding which options to order. Trying to decide if the z51 package is worth it, as I won’t track the car, and if not, should I get the performance exhaust or just go aftermarket. If this kit is 3k or so, why spend $1500 on the performance exhaust…. So this is just loud all the time correct? Through all the driving modes….
I know a lot of people don’t really feel the need for Z51 if not tracking. And I wouldn’t do the performance exhaust. I’d definitely go aftermarket. And yes, it will be loud in all modes with aftermarket.
Does this have the performance exhaust or is non preformance exhaust I’m gonna be ordering mine soon and wonder if it’s worth adding performance exhaust or should I just say no and do zo6 style mid exhaust tips and exhaust system that way
I personally wouldn’t waste the money on the performance exhaust although I believe it’s standard on the Z51. I would definitely look to do aftermarket. This had the performance exhaust but I switched to the AWE.
I believe it was just some high temp paint. Not sure which brand he uses. I think there’s a little. In V4 mode. It’s not anything major though. I pretty much always drive in Z mode though so it doesn’t drop down into 4 cyl.
I love that Yellow color. Looks sick as a convertible.. I don't think I'd want a coupe. I don't care about seeing the engine, it doesn't look like anything special anyhow. I have a Velocity yellow C7 Z51 M7 right now.. Looking into getting a white pearl metallic 70th. I'm worried I'm going to miss the manual too much.
Yeah. You may. I have a C7 Z06 M7 and it’s so different from the C8. The C8 drives itself. Doesn’t have the awesome sound you get with rev match but it’s still a good car. Quick, not fast.
That's what I'm worried about.. Its too civilized. The C6 was even more fun to drive than the C7, but I fixed that with a Throttle body and throttle controller. I need to drive a C8 before I consider dropping 100k on a C8. The AWE sounds really good. Great vid.. :)@@FrontSeatDriver
I have a follow up video coming soon with more sound and driving. I haven’t filmed it yet because it’s been so hot. I intended to do it a couple months ago but Texas heat had other plans. Lol
I do appreciate him putting his foot under it to make sure it doesn’t touch the ground, but I’ll never understand these techs not just using moving blankets and other tools to prevent damage. I just don’t get it. Watching this guy use his foot and then trying to single-handedly put the piece on the horses would give me a heart attack.
@@FrontSeatDriver yeah I’m glad it all turned out ok for you. I’m deeply traumatized by a few experiences I’ve had with installers and when I see these videos I’m like “OH - that’s how that kind of stuff happens” lol.
No. It was actually mud from the road. My car was pretty darn clean when I left but right around the corner from Corvette World and all along the service road is construction and some stupid company floods out the area with their sprinklers and boom. Filth all over my car!! It’s all washed now though.
LOVE me some AWE! Looks and SOUNDS fantastic! Car is looking awesome, Jason.
Thanks, Justin!! 🙏
Pushed the envelope with this video LOL 😂
Got er done tho
Lol. Yup. That’s for sure.

Does the AWE have valves
Bespoke, valveless, asymmetric exhaust design unlock signature tone and performance. (From AWE)
Yeah, I’m getting ready to order my car and I noticed General Motors offers some off market exhaust systems right from the factory. Would you recommend doing that?
What do they offer? I had the performance exhaust. It wasn’t very loud.
Any pricing on the exhaust and install? It looks and sounds very good.

Also great idea with spraying inside the tips to make it black, but ideally this would be done BEFORE install and away from the rest of the vehicle.
Yeah. Luckily it didn’t turn out to be an issue. I should have done it myself prior to bringing it up there.
@@FrontSeatDriver yeah I’m glad it all turned out ok for you. I’m deeply traumatized by a few experiences I’ve had with installers and when I see these videos I’m like “OH - that’s how that kind of stuff happens” lol.
You are as smart as you think you are 😂😂😂😂
Smart “ass” I think I am?
@@FrontSeatDriver LOL
No way would I take my vette apart just for a little teen age sound
👍
No doubt a lot of money just to make a little more noise and likely negligible if any performance improvement.
True. But do we really need a $100k car just to get around? No.
Bird Crap!
No. It was actually mud from the road. My car was pretty darn clean when I left but right around the corner from Corvette World and all along the service road is construction and some stupid company floods out the area with their sprinklers and boom. Filth all over my car!! It’s all washed now though.
Not as nice a sound as paragon exhaust
Eh. Preference.
The problem with it is, when you start it up it's still a weak ass, paddle flipping loser automatic.
That’s why I have a C7 Z06 M7 as well. Best of both worlds
Sounds too much like a domestic.
Well, it is. I think you’re interested in the C8 Z06.
Sounds obnoxious. Leave it stock.
Stock sounded like a Tesla.
too bad its yellow
Eh. I like it and it’s my car so.
@@FrontSeatDriverexactly 🙌🏾
