Yup, a good quality, great sounding, nice looking , cat back system for C5's. Hooker Elite system with aerochamber mufflers and quad polished stainless tips. Part # 21517 from Autozone. Nice deep rumble tone, no drone and sounds great at WOT. Closest thing to compare it to is a nice Mustang sound.The system is heavy duty construction and looks like it will last.This same system is sold everywhere else fo $600-$800 depending on the sellers conscience!! Buy one, you won't be disappointed! Chuck.

Why would a Corvette driver want to sound like a Mustang? [Frown] [Confused]
Just trying to give a discription of a system that compares with $1000 systems out there.
I posted this because I tried it and like it. My owning a Vette does not preclude me from thinking that Vettes should sound better from the factory.My personal preference for a good sounding vehicle is a Mustang.The system is a bolt on cat-back from the flanges after the factory x pipe to the tips.
By the way, the corvette forum has a thread on this system with a sound clip and photos of the actual system. Chuck.

Is the whole exhaust stainless? Probablt not. That's why they are so inexpensive. If they were stainless I'm sure a lot of people would jump on them.

 Is this what you are referring to: http://www.holley.com/21517HKR.asp According to their website this is just the mufflers and not a full catback system. They do have this: http://www.holley.com/21726HKR.asp But, the retail price seems to be around $600.
