Akrapovic Exhaust Systems for the Chevrolet Corvette C6 and C7

The Akrapovic company was founded in Slovenia a quarter century ago by former motorcycle racer Igor Akrapovic. Since then, the brand has grown to international prominence through its successful support of leading motorsport teams. One hundred world champions in both two- and four-wheel motorsports have achieved success using Akrapovic’s performance systems. Currently in stock are the Akrapovic exhaust systems for the Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06/ZR1 and C7 Stingray/Z06 models.

The stainless-steel slip-on line systems for the Chevrolet C6 replace the stock exhaust from the center link pipes, back. The weight difference between the Akrapovic slip-on mufflers and the stock system is approximately 9lbs. Akrapovic’s slip-on line systems increase the power and torque of the Corvette V8 engine, while improving throttle response, all achieved without removing the catalytic converters. Finally, the most dramatic improvement is in the sound: the slip-on line exhaust gives the C6 a much deeper and throatier growl. The Akrapovic Sound Kit is also available as an option; it allows for full control of the dual-mode valves. Be sure to complete the look with a set of exquisite 115mm or larger 125mm tailpipes in either titanium or carbon fiber.

The Akrapovic evolution line system for the Chevrolet Corvette C7 takes exhaust tuning to the next level. Featuring mufflers and link-pipes made from high-grade titanium to dramatically reduce the overall weight, the system provides more power, lowers back pressure and increases torque. With four valves, the first pair operates in four-cylinder mode and the second set comes into action following the driver’s specifications. With an electronic device developed by Akrapovic engineers for the five standard GM modes—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track, the system is perfectly matched to operate with the car’s drive mode selector. This produces an even greater range of options for the driver to fully experience the amazing sound of the car.


The evolution line system, with a new X-pipe, provides even greater performance compared to the slip-on line system and adds a pure race-note soundtrack for this stunning engine with the enhanced sound characteristics of the V8 configuration without any drone – just pure enjoyment! Four large-diameter carbon fiber tail pipes with titanium inners complete the appearance of the evolution line perfectly, making it stand out as something special.

When it comes to American performance cars, the Z06 Corvette rains supreme. The light weight, high horsepower car is closer to a super car than a traditional sports car. But like nearly every car on the market today, a set of wheels can transform a car from good to great. Our customer paired his Corvette Z06 with a set of gloss black TE37′s by Volk Racing. The staggered fitment of choice is 18×9.5 +35 front and a 19×12 +57 rear. The outcome is a flush fitting wheel that accents the aggressive styling of the Z06. Volk Racing offers a wide range of wheels, but the TE37 is by far the favored choice. They come in fitments ranging from Subaru WRX to the Corvette Z06 you see here.
