Yes and no. It could be, but is a totally different design.C6 mufflers are
straight like the older vettes, C5 are sideways. Also why the C6 exhaust ? There is nothing all that special to it. Keep your eyes on Corsa as they are working on the C6 system now and whenever they post the pictures, you can see it is a totally different system then a C5. Look here and you can see the C6 mufflers. http://www.ncrs.org/southwest/albums...w/P7105381.JPG http://www.ncrs.org/southwest/albums...w/P7105382.JPG http://www.ncrs.org/southwest/albums...w/P7105387.JPG -- Tedd Riggs Redmond, WA 1998 C5 6 spd "Bob G." > wrote in message ... > On Thu, 19 Aug 2004 14:33:32 GMT, "JD" > > wrote: > >>Anybody know if the c6 exhaust system can be adapted to a 1999 hardtop? >> >>Thanks, >>Jess >> >>======================================= > Hope I see my 1st C6 in Carlisle, and I sure do not know much about > the thing (yet).... > > But I am curious as to why you are asking the question... ?

Not so it would be anything but a 3 week job for a stainless welder. Why
pray tell would you even consider such an idea?!?!? JD wrote: > Anybody know if the c6 exhaust system can be adapted to a 1999 hardtop? > > Thanks, > Jess > > > > |

The change in both looks and sound is phenomenol. Quieter than a mouse at 1500 rpm at 65 mph in 6th, but with a nice burble (akin to a power boat) at idle, and a roar when standing on it. Much nicer than the stock mufflers, and tips taken off. Reportedly there is a slight increase in horsepower as well. I'd wait for Corsa on C6 mufflers and tips. Now, onward to the Nightwing intakes......... with K&Ns, and a Hotchkiss sway bars. |

I should have said mufflers only and not complete exhaust system. Appears
to be less restrictive than on C5. Thanks, Jess "JD" > wrote in message m... > Anybody know if the c6 exhaust system can be adapted to a 1999 hardtop? > > Thanks, > Jess > > > > |

I put on the Bassani X-Pipe and the Corsa Indy Pace Pro Tips on my 98.
Whoa...love the sound and looks. Nice and quiet at cruising speed, but WOT in the lower gears at about 3000 RPM and....well not to silent,sounds great ! I like the "Powerboat Idle" That is the main reason a fair amount of people don't like the Corsa's. I like them as one of the best Tips and overall quality I have seen and the almost "exotic" car sound at higher RPM's. Corsa just got a C6 last week, told me probably Oct-Nov for it to go on sale. First will be the stainless version followed a month or two later the Titanium version.
