The Milltek C8 Z06 exhaust system is designed around one goal: delivering an exhaust that matches the unique character of GM’s flat-plane LT6 V8. The C8 Z06 is already an outlier in the American performance market, and its 5.5L, 8,600-RPM screamer deserves a system that can keep up. Milltek’s catback accomplishes that with an 80mm mandrel-bent layout, built entirely from high-grade stainless steel.
Tone, flow, and responsiveness are all enhanced while keeping OEM integration intact. The system utilizes active valves to adjust volume and sound characteristics on the fly, giving owners the choice between a subdued presence during calm driving or a sharp, race-inspired wail under wide-open throttle. Every piece, from the flex pipes to the four-tip exit, is tailored to the unique packaging demands of the C8 platform. Whether carving through backroads or pulling up to the next car meet, this system elevates the Z06 experience without compromise.
Milltek’s engineers focused on delivering usable performance benefits alongside a commanding exhaust note. The 80mm piping allows for greater exhaust scavenging and reduced backpressure, unlocking quicker throttle response and a broader torque curve. Combined with the weight savings of the system, the result is a sharper-driving Z06 with improved drivability at any speed.
Valve control is tied into the factory ECU, maintaining OEM-like behavior while delivering a noticeable difference in tone and intensity. In quiet mode, the system keeps things calm enough for early starts or long freeway drives. In performance settings, the volume steps up with a crisp, motorsport-inspired character that highlights the LT6’s unique firing order.
Visually, Milltek’s C8 Z06 exhaust system adds a more aggressive finish to the rear of the vehicle. Buyers can select between polished or Cerakote black GT-115 tips, both of which pair cleanly with the Corvette’s sharp body lines. The quad-tip layout fills the factory valance perfectly, giving the car a more complete, motorsport-ready stance from the rear.
Installation is completely bolt-on. It requires no cutting, welding, or tuning. That means this system can be installed in a shop or at home, and it’s fully reversible if needed. Built to endure track days, highway miles, and everything in between, the Milltek C8 Z06 exhaust system brings out the best in GM’s highest-revving V8. For those seeking increased performance, refined sound, and fitment that rivals the factory system, this setup delivers across the board.
