Shopping online has become commonplace in our modern world, and the things you can get through an online retailer are expanding more every day. Buying a Chevy Corvette exhaust system online would once have been unheard of, but now, not only can you buy the system, you can often buy all the components individually.
Complete Exhaust Systems
If you need to purchase a complete exhaust system for your performance car, finding a retailer or manufacturer that sells the systems as a single item is not overly challenging. Exhaust systems are available to fit many different model years and come with all the parts required to assemble and install the system in your garage.
Often the manufacturer of the system will sell directly to customers online or direct you to a reputable online retailer that they recommend to purchase their product. The retailer will ship the system to you, so you don't have to do all the leg work of hunting down parts and then going to a different store to get them.
For car enthusiasts looking for a specific exhaust brand, this is a good option. Keep in mind a complete exhaust system is typically heavy and large enough that it will be truck shipped, so it may take a little longer to get to you.
Building Your System
For car enthusiasts looking to assemble a custom kit with individual parts, many online retailers offer you the ability to select the parts you want and then build the exhaust system the way you prefer. While it takes longer to search for the right parts for the system, buying the individual parts allows you to customize the exhaust to perform precisely as you want.
Buying a new exhaust system for a vintage car is sometimes tricky, and if the retailer does not offer a complete system for your model year, you may have no choice but to buy the parts as you can find them and assemble the system yourself. Purchasing a complete exhaust system is often less expensive than shopping for each component separately, but there is no other option in some situations.
Custom Systems
One alternative to buying your exhaust system online is to take the car to a local muffler shop and have them build your system from scratch. The technician can custom bend the pipes, install the type of mufflers you want, and fit the entire system together so that it tucks up under the car just like the factory exhaust did.
Muffler shops mainly deal in stock parts but can order custom ones if needed. Getting a high flow muffler or performance catalytic converter for your performance system is possible, and they can tune the system to offer the best performance for your car.
