2020+ Chevrolet Corvette C8 Competition Cat Bypass Pipes

-17 LBS | Maximum Straight-Through Exhaust Flow

Designed for maximum exhaust flow, sound, and weight reduction, these Competition Cat Bypass Pipes replace the restrictive factory catalytic converters on the 2020+ C8 Corvette with straight-through piping. The result is a freer-flowing exhaust path, substantially more aggressive exhaust sound, and approximately 17 lb / 8 kg of weight savings compared with the factory catalytic-converter assemblies.

Key Features

• Replaces the factory catalytic converters with straight-through competition pipes
• Approximately 17 lb / 8 kg lighter than the factory catalytic converters
• Maximum unrestricted exhaust-flow design
• More aggressive LT2 V8 exhaust sound
• 3D laser scanned and CAD designed
• Integrated high-temperature heat shielding
• Amorphous silica-fiber insulation
• Heat shielding wrapped in 321 stainless steel
• Direct bolt-on installation
• No cutting or welding required
• Designed for closed-course competition / off-road applications only
• Manufacturer source lists a lifetime warranty

Maximum Exhaust Flow

The factory C8 catalytic converters create a significant restriction in the exhaust path. These Competition Cat Bypass Pipes remove the catalyst assemblies entirely and replace them with straight-through piping designed to minimize restriction and maximize exhaust flow.

The manufacturer describes the system as providing increased performance potential, but does not publish a specific verified horsepower or torque figure for this product—the listed HP and TQ figures remain TBD.

17 LB Weight Reduction

Replacing the heavy factory catalytic-converter assemblies reduces exhaust-system weight by approximately:

-17 LB / -8 KG

This removes weight from the rear section of the vehicle while simultaneously eliminating the restrictive factory catalyst cores.

Aggressive LT2 V8 Sound

With the factory catalytic converters removed, significantly more of the LT2's natural exhaust note comes through. The source specifically positions these pipes as its most aggressive sound option for the C8 platform.

Expect a noticeably louder, rawer, and more competition-focused exhaust character compared with a factory-catalyst-equipped C8.

High-Temperature Heat Shielding

The pipes incorporate heat shielding made from amorphous silica fiber wrapped in 321 stainless steel, helping manage the extreme temperatures surrounding the C8 exhaust system.

3D Laser Scanned & CAD Designed

The system was developed using 3D laser scanning and CAD design to provide proper vehicle-specific fitment while optimizing the exhaust path for maximum flow.

Direct Bolt-On Installation

Installation is designed to be straightforward and does not require cutting or welding.

Professional installation recommended.

⚠️ COMPETITION USE ONLY — EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE NOTICE

THIS PRODUCT REMOVES THE FACTORY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON PUBLIC STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.

This product is designed exclusively for legitimate closed-course competition or off-road applications where its installation and use are permitted by applicable law. Installation removes and renders inoperative the vehicle's original catalytic converters and may cause the vehicle to no longer comply with federal, state, or local emissions requirements.

The manufacturer specifically states that these Racing Cat Bypass Pipes are not CARB certified and not EPA certified, are intended solely for track/race applications, and may cause a Check Engine Light on OBD-II vehicles.

DO NOT install, operate, or use this product on a vehicle driven, registered, licensed, or otherwise operated on public streets or highways where removal of the factory catalytic converters is prohibited.

Removal of the catalytic converters may illuminate a CEL, affect OBD-II readiness, prevent emissions inspection, and make the vehicle unlawful for public-road operation.

The purchaser and installer are solely responsible for determining whether purchase, installation, possession, and intended use comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Professional installation does not make an otherwise unlawful application legal.
