What it ends up being is one input to two 6" (give or take) resonated output pipes. I will say adding the output to that second pipe (passenger side) was a pain as the three pipes are on different planes and it's all really close together.


Doing this also required to open up the other side so I could finish up the offshoot and cut another opening so I could cover the perforated pipe.


Haven't installed it as I still like what I have with just the 'U' pipe. Going to haver to do that though.


As a sidebar,,, recently bought a 2016 Corvette with the Z51 package. There's a dial on the console to change the settings of the exhaust ( and other this as well) as you go from touring to sport or track. It's pretty slick.
Why keep both cars? The Z51 is better in every way but fuel economy and carrying passengers.
