    Very good! Loved it but I'm a little intimidated by removing my bumper. You make it look easy but I've learned my limits. I'd love to install the screens over the intakes in front but again, Don't want to mess with it.

    Scared for temps so close to the DCT with no heat shield.Whats the weight vs your other solution? Looks great!

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  10 місяців тому

      We’ve track tested our touring exhaust at multiple locations with 20min sessions with 0 issues. The avg user won’t see those temps on street.
      Our center exit weights in at 25lbs where our touring is 32lbs.

    Looks good for those that wanted a center option.. On a side note I see you guys made a nice very light wight Ti non-valved exhaust, but not a valved version. I see you have one from another CO that is very $$$ , but why didnt you offer attachments for your other system? Also, I know the E-ray is not out yet but is the system and measurements the same? thanks

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  10 місяців тому +3

      Making a valved exhaust either from Ti or Stainless will increase the cost greatly.
      The center exit will work for the E-Ray!

      We would recommend asking a local Facebook group or any of the big C8 groups. You could save yourself the money and do it at home, it's "simple" enough to do in your garage and we have these awesome install videos made for you so you can follow along.

    Lemans makes a center exhaust where you can still use your OEM diffuser, slight modification of the center. And the exhaust sounds killer!

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  10 місяців тому

      The Lemans Edition exhaust requires you to cut your OEM rear valance where we use a all new OEM piece from GM. With our kit you can always go back to OEM side exit if you choose.

    • @C8Corvette901
      @C8Corvette901 10 місяців тому +2

      @@ParagonPerformance exactly why I said slight modification. I’m not sure why anyone would want to go back to the stock one. I also hate extra parts laying around taking up space. The Lemans kit is also $1,000 less. One could buy another rear diffuser with the savings. Both companies are great kits, was just sharing another option. I have the Lemans being installed soon. This one is great as well.
