LT4 Exhaust system

[vetter4ever]

I have recently purchased a 96 LT4 and notice that the mufflers and exhaust tips are black. I have noticed that not all 96 corvettes have black exhaust tips. Are the black tips exclusive to the LT4 ?

No. My '92 has the same "black" big square tips.

I'm thinking no, they're not. My LT4 is stock and it does not have black exhaust tips.

Mine also is a convertible, I wonder if there is some connection here

C G 'S 92 convert has black tips. Is your L T 4 a coupe or vert?

It's a coupe. But... I'm thinking I must be a moron. :Silly Or blind, or just plain stupid!

I would have sworn they weren't black... but I checked today and the mufflers and tips are black. :bash

So much for my credibility... :CRASH

My new coupe has black tips also. The mufflers are not stock tho, but the tips seem to be.

Mine had the black square tips also. I just pulled the whole thing off in one piece and installed a Magnaflow catback. Much Better....

I'm going to upgrade the exhaust on mine at some point soon. I've been considering Magnaflow, though it seems like Borla and Corsa have a better rep, and they cost more. Did you consider either of those brands and how did you decide on the Magnaflow? How easy is it to do by yourself? Thanks.


Save the Wave!!!

I have magnaflows on my truck and like the sound. Magnaflow stainless catback cost me about 500 delivered to the house. Borla is a great system also but they are too proud of it.

Took about an afternoon and a 12 pack to change it out, biggest headache was when a bolt broke off on the cat and I had to drill it out. Pretty straightforward install. Only thing I recommend is to either weld the joints or use ss band clamps instead of the standard u clamps, gives it a much cleaner appearance- not that you can see very much of it under there!
