CT5-V Upcoming After Market Exhausts for CT5 BW

[KratosBear]

I have confirmed the following companies will be producing aftermarket exhaust for the CT5 Blackwing:

1. Corsa
2. MagnaFlow
3. AWE

Not sure of any other companies (i.e., Borla, etc.) but Corsa and MagnaFlow told me by August or sooner.

Can’t wait to have options.

Borla has no plans of today.

They happen to mention anything about the CT4BW?

They did not. But I didn’t ask either.

I just watched a clip on YouTube over Maganflow’s axel back. Sounds killer. Probably a lot more wallet friendly vs the corsa. Love the round tips too! Can’t wait to see the price on it and dyno numbers.

Does anyone know how the ZL1’s have responded to axelbacks and catbacks? Any reasonable gains?

Saw this video as well, but it sounds like this was a custom setup pieced system and install with no plans of mass production. I emailed Magnaflow and am awaiting their response. Sounds KILLER.

This System doesn’t look too hard to piece together. The MF guy gives a pretty detailed description on the mufflers and you can see the one they used at the end. The valves are installed on the inner tailpipe. Any decent exhaust shop should be able to cut out the suitcase muffler and do this setup. I’m going to research some pricing on the muffler. I’m
guessing it’s 3” in and 2.25 dual out. I’ll have to rewatch the clip to see if he gives the out diameter.

Let us now what you find. I’m interested as well.

Rewatched and they didn’t mention the outlet diameter. After a closer look, I’m thinking it’s dual 2.5” out. Even with that, MF doesn’t offer any of the mufflers shown in this clip for individual sale. The only thing on their site for single in dual out in any diameter is 18” in body length. None of those mufflers in that clip come close that measurement. I’m guessing 10-12 inch max body length? He did mention the Mustang line, so maybe they’re from a Mustang specific kit? Looks like I’ll be waiting to see what their response is to your message. Maybe they do release some sort of axle back soon. Also, it appears they used the 3rd muffler discussed in the clip since it is polished and has the offset inlet.
Dynomax is also an option. I’ll have to check their site to see what they offer and if they sell any short bodied single in dual out cans.

MF was of zero help. Here was their response when I asked for part numbers to piece it together

“Unfortunately, because this was a 1 off build, we do not have the specs available for it. it was custom built, and muffler selected by our marketing director on the spot during the build.”

 

[KratosBear]

lol… why even make that video MF? Make it make sense if the public can’t buy it.

 

[BrakeFade]

From what I can tell after some brief snooping their site, those mufflers are indeed s550 Mustang GT mufflers. The MF guy did mention they are based on their “Mustang line”. Even the tips look similar. Might get lucky combing eBay for a kit at a reduced price. Have a custom shop fab it up.
One could always go without mufflers. I suspect you may lose a little horsepower with reduced back pressure? Plus it would probably sound like ass.

Am I the only one being taunted by AWE? Whenever I get an email from them like right now, I think it's an announcement for the 5BW exhaust that they are supposedly developing. Unfortunately, today's email was just a general one. But everyone keep signing up for updates for our cars and maybe that will push them to develop them faster!

I sent AWE an email about two weeks ago about the status of the CT5 BW exhaust and they stated they are waiting for their ordered BW to arrive to start the process. Hopefully, something comes out in 2025.

Excellent! I hope they make a great sounding one that doesn't hang down like the Corsa.

I ordered from Corsa direct on November 23rd, Black Friday special. I have an email from them that states if it is not shipped within 31 days, they will refund 7% of the price. That would be Christmas Eve, so hopefully the delay continues

We worked with Corsa to bring the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing exhaust systems to the market, and all 18 part numbers are in stock for immediate shipment. If you order by 3:00 we'll ship the same day!

Working with Concept 841 Headers on a CT5 Blackwing setup.

It will merge into the factory rear muffler but have open dumps rights before the muffler.

That's interesting from Concept 841. Their web site only has C6 parts. Not even other Corvette parts !!

He's working on a bunch of different setups right now, I approached him about my Blackwing and I've been doing some light design work to help solve some issues with fitting an equal length system in our cars. Motor mounts get in the way currently in some areas, redesigning and sending out for FEA analysis before cutting a prototype in my machine shop to test fitment of the 3D printed primaries. Still some work to get the exhaust to reality , but I'm super pumped cause I feel like it would bring a whole new sound to my car. Along with some other mods I'm planning to do I'm really excited for the sounds to come. I'll be posting on a build thread soon of my mods done , coming and in design.

Also I'm not a company selling parts, not affiliated with Concept 841, just a guy excited about modding his Blackwing and sharing the journey.
