The kit is designed for 1963–1967 Chevrolet Corvette C2 small-block engines using 2-inch exhaust manifolds. It recreates the distinctive side‑exit appearance and connects along the rocker panels for a faithful mid‑year Corvette profile.

Fitment and installation considerations

For a clean, period‑correct installation, you’ll mount the exhaust along the rocker panels, mirroring original factory side‑exhaust cars. In some cases, installing this kit on a Corvette that previously used a rear‑exit exhaust may require modifications to the lower front fender and rocker area to ensure proper clearance and fit. If you’re restoring a classic to its authentic spec or upgrading to a louder, more dramatic exhaust note, this kit provides a straightforward path to that signature look and sound.

What you gain: sound, flow, and presence

• Flow and performance: baffles are designed to improve exhaust flow for small‑block engines, contributing to a more responsive throttle and a distinctive exhaust character.
• Iconic styling: recreates the famous Corvette side‑pipe aesthetic, instantly elevating the stance and visual appeal of your C2 restoration or build.

Ideal for

• Corvette enthusiasts restoring 1963–1967 C2 models who want authentic side‑pipe visuals.

• Builders aiming to balance classic styling with a more economical aluminized solution.

Care and maintenance

Keep the aluminized finish looking great by washing off road grime and applying a light protective film or wax suitable for metal finishes. Regular checks of mounting hardware will help maintain a secure fit and reduce rattling or movement over time.
