C3 Chevrolet Corvette Exhaust System Kit

The third-generation Corvette (C3) saw production by Chevrolet from 1968 through 1982. Serving as the longest-running line of Corvette vehicles to date, fans adore the C3 for signature body styling, rally wheel designs and distinct characteristics inside and out. One of the most unique aspects of the C3 Corvette is the notion that Chevrolet honed in on a racing look and feel with ZR1 packages, LT1 small-block V8 engines and models with over 370 horsepower.

If you want to get the most out of your C3 Stingray, look no further than Top Flight Automotive for aftermarket exhaust parts and systems. As the largest manufacturer and supplier of Corvette parts anywhere, our experts bring you exactly what you need for large and small restoration projects. Browse the Top Flight Automotive online store for dual exhaust systems, side pipe kits and more.

WHY REPLACE YOUR C3 CORVETTE EXHAUST SYSTEM?

Replacing or restoring your Corvette’s exhaust system is crucial for the functionality of your sports car. Depending on use, components may rust, break apart or sound louder than usual. Replacing part or all of your C3 exhaust system allows your engine to breathe more efficiently, providing you with additional power.

With the help of a Top Flight Automotive sales representative, we can steer you in the right direction toward exhaust parts and systems to keep your C3 on the road for generations to come.

1968-1974 C3 CORVETTE DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEMS

A variety of C3 Corvette models were released with dual exhaust systems for improving fuel economy and engine horsepower. During 1968-1974, Chevrolet production runs made the C3 roar with split configurations engineered for a true racing sound. At Top Flight Automotive, we supply dual exhaust system replacements with the secondary pipe welded to the muffler for a stock fitment and smooth installation process.

Customers can choose between factory-style round mufflers or low profile setups before checkout.

C3 CORVETTE REPLACEMENT SIDE EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Trying to achieve the look of a side-mounted exhaust? Top Flight Automotive carries the tools and supplies necessary for a full restoration or conversion project. Swap out stock components of your C3 with a 1968-1974 side exhaust pipe kit on our online store.

Side exhaust bundles include the following for your restoration and conversion efforts:

• 2-inch or 2.5-inch aluminized pipes

1975-1982 CORVETTE CAT-BACK EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Cat-back exhaust systems refer to all of the components running after the catalytic converter. At Top Flight Automotive, we make Corvette restorations simple with options for purchasing pipes and mufflers together.

Discover cat-back exhaust systems for your C3 make, model and year featuring the same fitment and components as complete systems. Cat-back kits provide you with compatible pipes and mufflers for your Corvette from the catalytic converter back. If your original exhaust manifold and catalytic converter still function properly, consider a cat-back solution for the second half of your C3 exhaust chain.
