Chevrolet Corvette C7: the V8 rumble, the complete exhaust system guide

The Chevrolet small-block: quite literally the American legend
The V8 in your Corvette C7 descends from the Chevrolet small-block, the most produced engine in automotive history: overhead valves, generous displacement, torque everywhere and a rumble the whole world recognises in a second. European versions have a heavily muffled factory exhaust: the real sound potential is far above what you hear from the factory.
The Rog exhaust unleashes the legend: the deep V8 rumble at idle, the thunderous climb through the revs, the bangs on the overrun. The valves keep the peace with your neighbours.
What makes up the exhaust on your Chevrolet Corvette C7
Here is what the Rog exhaust replaces, and where the sound is shaped.
The cat-back is the complete exhaust system
It is everything you can see under your Chevrolet Corvette C7, all the way to the tips: pipes, silencer, valves. This is the part where most of our research and development goes, the part that shapes the sound, and it fits without touching the engine or the ECU.
Your Chevrolet Corvette C7 in figures
An exhaust system is judged first by ear and on the scales. The extra horsepower comes from an ECU remap.
Power
Torque
Manufacturer factory figures, converted from US units. Factory figures vary by version.
The Rog exhaust works with or without an ECU remap. To get the full potential out of your Chevrolet Corvette C7, we advise taking it to an approved tuning centre afterwards.
Let's be honest: on a naturally aspirated American V8, the exhaust brings a moderate gain and a transformed character. An ECU remap at an approved tuning centre then fine-tunes the engine management.
Configuring your exhaust, step by step
3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.
-
Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium
Titanium costs more than stainless steel; the price of each version is shown on the product page, in your currency.
304 stainless steel
- Weight
- Baseline
- Sound
- Full and rounded
The safe bet: strong, corrosion-proof, with a full, rounded sound. The best value for money.
Titanium
- Weight
- Around 40% lighter
- Sound
- Metallic, crystal-clear
It makes the exhaust around 40% lighter for the same design. Its note is more metallic and clearer higher up the rev range, and its finish ranges from brushed to blued.
No worries on durability: 304 stainless steel shrugs off winter road salt and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.
-
Step 2 of 3: Valves: Rog remote or factory control
Two ways to control the valves on your Chevrolet Corvette C7.
Rog remote
A discreet control unit in the boot and a two-button remote: you open and close whenever you like, independently of the drive modes. For fitting, we support you by email.
Factory control
- Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
- Controlled by the drive modes
For vehicles fitted with factory valves: the exhaust connects to their control and the drive modes stay in charge, with no extra control unit.
At 130 km/h, many sports exhausts drone. Here, with the valves closed, the exhaust flows through the silencer and stays composed when cruising; open, it makes itself heard when you choose. More about exhaust drone.

Step 3 of 3: Tips: the visual signature
Match the tips to the style of your Chevrolet Corvette C7, understated or bold. A particular finish in mind? Send us a photo and we will look at it together.
- Chrome
- Gloss black
- Blued titanium
Your choices carry over to the product page: only the finishes, your VIN and the cart remain.
The Rog sound signature on the Chevrolet V8
Our exhaust unleashes the legendary small-block rumble: deep and cavernous at idle, thunderous under load, with bangs that crack on the overrun with the valves open. With the valves closed, the truce with the neighbours is signed. America, your way.

Chevrolet Corvette C7: your questions
How much power does an exhaust add on the Chevrolet Corvette C7?
As standard, the Chevrolet Corvette C7 produces 461 to 466 hp and 624 to 630 Nm, depending on the version. The exhaust alone acts first on sound, breathing and weight; the extra horsepower comes from an ECU remap.
Stainless steel or titanium: which material for the Chevrolet Corvette C7?
The Rog exhaust comes in stainless steel and titanium, at the price shown on the product page in your currency. Stainless steel is the safe bet, with a full sound; titanium makes the exhaust around 40% lighter and gives a more metallic note higher up the rev range.
Is the Rog exhaust loud all the time on the Chevrolet Corvette C7?
No, that is the whole point of the valves. Closed, the Chevrolet Corvette C7 stays comfortable; open, the engine breaks free. You choose at any moment.
Will a Rog exhaust pass vehicle inspection on the Chevrolet Corvette C7?
The exhaust replaces the rear section of the exhaust system on the Chevrolet Corvette C7, with no work on the engine or the ECU. Present the car with the valves closed.
How is the Rog exhaust fitted on the Chevrolet Corvette C7?
With clamps and gaskets, no welding or cutting: around two hours in the workshop for a well-equipped mechanic. The exhaust is built to the VIN of your Chevrolet Corvette C7.
