Brutal. Muscular. Unmistakable. This is the VANTA Edition Z-Pipe Exhaust System—our most aggressive take on the C8 Corvette Stingray and E-Ray platform.
This system features a wild Z-shaped pipe layout, engineered for both form and function. Fully wrapped in high-temp thermal shielding, the Z-pipe not only delivers a uniquely deep and punchy tone—it also manages exhaust gas temperatures with precision, ensuring consistent performance even under extreme conditions.
Unlike the high-pitched tone of an X-pipe setup, the Z-pipe gives the Stingray a raw, throaty, muscle car character—while improving scavenging and backpressure balance. You’ll feel the extra power and hear the difference with every throttle input.
Made entirely from hand-welded 304 stainless steel, this system integrates factory AFM valve modules for plug-and-play functionality. For cars with NPP, we offer both OEM-compatible plug-and-play valves or our own remote-control valve solution for full manual override.
Despite the wild look and beastly sound, this system runs clean—no check engine lights, no tuning required.
For those looking to unlock the full potential, we also offer matching optional downpipes—available in both catless and 200-cell high-flow catalytic configurations. These deliver even greater gains in power and sound, while keeping your build modular and upgradeable.
