Just acquired a 2020 C8 with the Stainless steel Touring kit. The sound is perfect when. Paddle shifing through the canyons. My buddy in a GT3rs is now looking to get a vette with the same kit. (Must be nice). The cold start still wakes the neighbors, but it settles down quickly. Also, the sound frequencies somehow are very well baffled by the car’s stock setup. Leaving only the sonic symphony of the LS2.

Excellent exhaust

I highly recommend. Sounds amazing on a c8. Looksjust as good. No drone. I would not hesitate to buy it.

Very happy with that purchase and the person I was talking to answered all my questions.

I installed the touring exhaust on my 23 C8. I was really impressed with the build quality and how well everything fit. And the sound is fantastic, without being overbearing. Thanks Paragon team!

I have had four C8 Stingrays since 2020. They all had performance exhaust but something was always missing. My kids wanted me to do it so I got the touring edition. It is not even the same car, so much fun to hear the sound. No comparison NPP to PP touring edition but not unbearable.

Amazing Quality and made in the USA. Love it!

I have a base C8. And this exhaust changed everything about the sound of the car. It was an easy install, and the quality is fantastic. Thankyou to the Paragon team for building and selling quality items! Life long customer here!!

Since I was struggling to find C8s with aftermarket exhausts in person, I'd like to write an in-depth review to help people who are in the same boat as I was. First, some backgrounds to understand my perspective. I was never a true sports car/America car guy. I owned a few Audis and BMWs before, so I am more used to more quiet, refined experience. I have also never had an aftermarket exhaust before. Now let's talk about the Paragon exhaust: Look: Absolutely killing the design. It's miles better looking than the OEM exhaust. The only other aftermarket option that I think look better is the Akrapovic, which cost 10 grands. Performance: You will notice the performance increase from weight reduction and the power gain. Sound: It sounds wonderful. From all the videos I can find for every single C8 aftermarket catbacks, this one is most unique and exotic sounding. I rev it under a bridge and it sounded almost like a lower-revving Z06 or some exotic cars from Italy. In cabin I can hear so much more, even with the windows close you can hear and feel all the notes. There are also a lot of subtle pops and burbles, which are not excessive. Comfort: Being a non-valve exhaust, you obviously pretty much lose the control of the sound level. You will feel the vibrations from the exhaust almost anytime you give it any levels of gas. In 2k - 3k range, the drones are very notifiable (may also due to the fact that I still need to break in with the exhaust a bit more). You will lose the quietness and refinement with the OEM exhaust, but it is not like unbearable. On highway, the exhaust note is still not as loud as the road noise if you keep it in the highest gear possible. The switch to V4 mode is actually not bothering me at all. Yes, it makes a funny noise when switching to it, but it's when it's going, I can't really hear much over the road noise. Overall, I'd give it a 9/10. The only drawback is I lose the valve and have to rise my volume up 2-3 more when I want to listen to music. It's totally worth the trade to get a much more engaging driving experience and the beautiful exotic sound.

This is my first time ever installing an exhaust or doing any type of modification to my car. The YouTube video made this installation super easy, its just time consuming. This exhaust is amazing and the c8 should of came like this from factory. Cold starts are loud, but quiets down once idling. For the first few rides, the exhaust had some drone. Then it went away, my guess is that the new gaskets had to go through a few heat cycles/breaking period. I personally only drive the car now on manual mode, because when the car switches to v4 it sounds weird to me. I haven't noticed a huge loss in mpg, probably 1 mpg. If you want your c8 to sound like a true sports/exotic car, this is the exhaust to get. I had some people give thumbs up to me during stop lights, but the best part is seeing their face once I rev it all the way :) You can't beat the price and quality Paragon provides with this exhaust.

My paragon exhaust is awesome. I was thinking of other exhaust but I only always wanted paragon. Always go with your first choice. by the way the sounds is awesome.

Came in looks awesome can't wait to install.

Easy install, sound is awesome.

This exhaust is perfect. Loud but not obnoxious. Installation was straightforward with the help of the YouTube video. Polished carbon fiber tips are extremely nice. This exhaust turns heads and gets tons of thumbs up. Highly recommend.

I just installed this exhaust and couldn't be happier! Looks and sounds awesome, and the Gloss carbon with blue tips finished it off!! Before I ordered it I called with a few questions and Korey answered them all. I did the install myself along with their instruction video and had no problems. I also installed the AFM@NPP simulators and have had 0 CELs.

Head Turning Sound!! The carbon fiber tips look great and the fitment of the exhaust is excellent. Really changes the sound and wakes up the C8 along with significant weight savings over the factory exhaust. The AFM and NPP simulators work great and never had any CELs

The Paragon Performance Touring Exhaust is the perfect solution for upgraded C8 sound without it being too loud for daily driving! The carbon fiber tips look awesome and much improved over the Z51 square chrome tips! When you stomp on the throttle you can really hear the car rumble and when you are cruising in a higher gear on the freeway it's not too loud. Perfect for when the wife is in the car :-)

I love the Paragon Touring Exhaust on my C8....can't believe how much louder the track option would be as this setup sounds incredible! Cold starts are a blast within the garage. Welding is A+....overall quality is outstanding....love the tips...even ordered a second set to switch it up. Given the cost and quality of this system, I highly recommend you give Paragon a shot....you won't be left disappointed.

Absolutely worth it, the entire experience was fantastic. Easy order, delivery (perfectly packed by Korey) and guided video install was a breeze. The change in sound to a slightly higher pitch is amazing and the loudness is just right. The looks top it off just right, quality welds and material too. Very happy!
