[VIDEO] 2020 Corvette with Straight Pipes on the LT2 V8


For you aftermarket exhaust enthusiasts, we’ve got a Friday soundtrack just for you!

I first met Joe Fabiani of Fabspeed Motorsports at the East Coast Reveal of the 2020 Corvette at Kerbeck last August. As a McLaren driver, he was very excited about the new car and told us how his shop had big plans for the mid-engine Corvette. And now that the car has arrived, we are starting to see the fruit of their labors.

This video comes from Track Day which creates cinematic content of performance cars. They are featuring a 2020 Corvette Stingray owned by YouTuber 650ib and it’s a car that’s not unfamiliar to us as we blogged about his custom wrap on the C8 last month.

Fabspeed Motorsports installed their new straight pipe exhaust system on the 2020 Corvette and this video offers us the opportunity to hear it in action as the car cruises around town.

From Track Day via YouTube:

Alright, so the all new C8 Corvette is a great sports car. But let’s get one thing straight, the stock exhaust needs some help. And that’s exactly where Fabspeed Motorsports comes in. They installed a nice set of straight pipes on this mid engine Corvette so let’s see how it sounds.


Fabspeed’s C8 Corvette exhaust systems start at $3,295 and they also offer sport cats and bypass pipes for the car as well.

  1. The car wasn’t really that loud. Our nephew put straight pipes, right after the Cats on his
    2001 Z06, and it sounds real good. At idle and cruising on the highway, its fairly mellow,
    inside the car, and doesn’t draw unwanted attention from law enforcement. However, it only remains mellow, up to about 3500 RPM after that there is no doubt in anyone’s mind, that something mean is coming down the street.

    I’m old school, and I like the sound of a small or big block Chevy, running a good exhaust system. I enjoy the low base sound of the older V-8’s, as opposed to the high pitch, screechy sound all the newer performance cars seem to have. They are especially obnoxious when they are bouncing off the rev limiter, with all that pulsating rat-a tat-tat ,,Bang…pop..pop sounds,…. of course that’s more the kids and their imports

  2. Mob mentality always rules for a time, but it also runs out of steam quickly these days because the youth that drive it, become bored (relatively) quickly, and then move on to a new trend. The amazing thing about this article is that I totally agree with the comments in this article: high pitch, screechy sound…bouncing off the rev limiter…rat-a-tat, tat…bang…pop…sounds, which developed from aftermarket imports and their F1 attempts or imitation thereof. I’m not going to spend a lot of money on an aftermarket exhaust unless performance is improved by the deletion of the stock after cat and addition of the after-market exhaust because it, “sounds better.” That is too much like the youthfull “fake culture,” that has developed around You-Tube hysteria of youth that is on, “runaway heat,” followed by burnout. I want before and after Dyno figures that are true. AF

  4. Jeff Butler:
    Big difference in the length (and therefore sounds) of the exhaust of a front vs mid-engine car!
