1997-2004 Corvette C5 Exhaust Corsa X-Pipe 14131

The Corsa crossover pipe design provides improved, balanced side-to-side exhaust flow for increased power and reduces the exhaust "idle burble" and popping on deceleration in most fifth-generation Corvettes. CORSA's XO-Pipe Crossover Pipe™ improves exhaust flow, at the same time smoothing out the LS1 engine pulses for better throttle response and a cleaner sound. The perfect complement to CORSA's Pace Car Edition muffler system!

1997 Corvette Exhaust Design Change Set the Stage
Automakers and performance enthusiasts have been installing balance tubes in dual exhaust systems for years. Tests have shown that balancing the backpressure between the independent exhaust branches increases power and reduces resonance. When Chevrolet introduced the C5 Corvette it installed a simple "H"-pipe balance tube. It was roughly two inches in diameter and provided adequate flow between the 2 1/2-inch catalytic converter pipes.
