Description
CORVETTE 23–27 Z06 VALVETRONIC CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exotic Exhaust Sound. Factory Valve Control. Fabspeed Performance Engineering.
Experience the ultimate combination of aggressive exhaust performance and everyday drivability with the Fabspeed Valvetronic Catback Exhaust System, engineered specifically for the 2023–2027 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 equipped with the factory center-exit exhaust.
Designed to unleash the unmistakable sound of the 5.5L LT6 flat-plane crank V8, this premium exhaust system delivers the same exhilarating, high-revving exhaust character as Fabspeed's Supersport X-Pipe system while retaining the ability to control exhaust volume through your Corvette's factory exhaust settings.
Unlike traditional aftermarket exhaust systems that sacrifice comfort for sound, the Fabspeed Valvetronic system features fully functional electronic exhaust valves, allowing you to transition between a more refined exhaust note and an aggressive, race-inspired soundtrack.
Manufactured in the USA from premium T304L stainless steel, featuring Fabspeed's signature cast X-pipe and precision-engineered exhaust routing, this system offers exceptional craftsmanship, improved exhaust flow, and a substantial reduction in weight.
Whether you're cruising through the city or pushing your Z06 through its high-RPM powerband, the Valvetronic Catback Exhaust delivers the best of both worlds.
Key Features
Aggressive Valvetronic Exhaust Sound
Experience the exhilarating exhaust characteristics of the Corvette Z06's naturally aspirated 5.5L LT6 engine.
The Fabspeed Valvetronic Exhaust delivers a sharp, aggressive, exotic-inspired exhaust note, highlighting the unique sound of the LT6 flat-plane crank V8.
With the electronic valves open, the system produces a more pronounced, motorsport-inspired sound similar to Fabspeed's Supersport X-Pipe exhaust.
When the valves close, exhaust volume is reduced for a more comfortable driving experience.
Retains Factory Exhaust Valve Functionality
One of the defining features of this system is its complete compatibility with the Corvette Z06's factory electronic exhaust valve controls.
The integrated electronic valves are designed to work directly with the OEM exhaust valve system, allowing you to adjust exhaust characteristics using your vehicle's existing drive mode and exhaust loudness settings.
Benefits include:
-
Retains factory exhaust loudness controls
-
Adjustable exhaust sound through OEM vehicle settings
-
Plug-and-play electronic valve integration
-
No additional remote control required
-
No aftermarket valve controller required
Enjoy aggressive exhaust performance without sacrificing the convenience of your factory exhaust controls.
Signature Fabspeed Cast X-Pipe
At the heart of the system is Fabspeed's signature cast X-pipe, engineered to optimize exhaust gas flow and scavenging.
The X-pipe configuration helps improve exhaust flow efficiency while producing the distinctive high-pitched exhaust note associated with the Corvette Z06's flat-plane crank engine.
Combined with larger-diameter exhaust tubing, the system is designed to allow the LT6 engine to breathe more freely.
20-Pound Weight Reduction
Reduce unnecessary weight from your Corvette with a premium exhaust system designed for performance.
The Fabspeed Valvetronic Catback Exhaust saves approximately 20 lbs (9.1 kg) compared to the factory exhaust system.
This weight reduction helps eliminate excess mass from the rear of the vehicle while maintaining the functionality of the factory electronic exhaust valve system.
Premium T304L Stainless Steel Construction
Manufactured from high-quality 14–16 gauge CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel, offering exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance.
Mandrel-bent tubing maintains consistent internal pipe diameter through bends, helping minimize unnecessary exhaust restrictions.
This premium construction is engineered to withstand the demanding operating conditions of the high-revving LT6 engine.
Choice of Factory or Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips
Customize your Corvette's rear-end appearance with two available exhaust tip configurations.
Option 1: Retain Factory Exhaust Tips

Upgrade to Fabspeed's premium carbon fiber exhaust tips paired with a matching carbon fiber surround trim for an even more aggressive, motorsport-inspired appearance.
The carbon fiber configuration complements the Z06's performance-oriented styling and adds a distinctive premium finish to the rear bumper.
Precision-Engineered OEM Fitment
Developed using advanced 3D laser scanning and CAD engineering, including the Ametek Handyscan 700, to ensure precise integration with the factory Corvette Z06 exhaust mounting locations.
The system is designed for a direct bolt-on installation without permanent modifications to the vehicle.
