Turn Your Z06 Into the Exotic-Sounding Corvette It Was Built to Be with the AFD RS Exhaust System
Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 AFD F1/RS Exhaust System
Turn Your Z06 Into the Exotic-Sounding Corvette It Was Built to Be
The AeroFlowDynamics C8 Z06 AFD F1/RS Exhaust System is engineered specifically for the 2023–2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 and its naturally aspirated 5.5L LT6 flat-plane-crank V8.
With its high-revving 8,600 RPM character, the LT6 already produces one of the most exotic sounds ever offered in a Corvette. The AFD F1/RS Exhaust System is designed to amplify that character with a sharper, higher-frequency, race-inspired exhaust note.
Choose from stainless steel or Grade 5 titanium, along with multiple muffler and track-section configurations, to create the sound and setup that fits your Z06 build.
