The mid-engine Corvette C8 delivers supercar performance, but the factory exhaust system restrains much of the LT2 V8’s natural character. The STRATEC™ Titanium Valved Sport Exhaust System unlocks the full emotion, tone, and excitement the C8 platform is capable of—transforming the car into a truly exotic-sounding machine.
Engineered around lightweight Grade 5 titanium, motorsport-inspired valve architecture, and a high-flow X-pipe design, this system delivers dramatic improvements in sound, responsiveness, and overall driving engagement.
Two Distinct Sound Profiles
Valves Open – Maximum Drama
A sharp, high-RPM exotic wail paired with a deep, aggressive low-end tone.
Ideal for spirited driving, weekend canyon runs, and standing out on demand.
Valves Closed – Refined and Controlled
A near-OEM sound level for early mornings, long-distance cruising, or discreet operation.
The system fully integrates with the factory electronic valve management, allowing seamless switching between modes.
