Sounds pretty good. I found this tool when I was putting the SLP twin tips on my Tahoe that can be used to remove those new rubber hangers on exhaust systems. After trying several different attempts with channel locks, I broke down and paid the $25 at the local automotive tool shop and it was well worth it.

I know of the tool but these were surprisingly easy to remove by hand so I didn't need to employ it. Definitely useful in almost every other application, though.

The AWE exhaust COMPLETES the C7 Corvette. Sounds absolutely incredible.

No seat belt, oops.

Hard to hear the exhaust sound from inside the car. If you do it again, maybe have a car alongside that could pick it up better.

That's what I will be doing in the future. This was all done in the same day as the install and it was a long day to say the least.

Easy and cheap XPEL protection that every C7 or C8 Corvette should have.

Gain power and drivability by swapping out the restricted stock air intake on your Corvette.

I couldn't tell in the video if the screen mesh was in front of the stock air filter or not but I did notice that the new air filter had a mesh wrapped around the filter itself. Not sure what the purpose of the meshes in either case other than possibly to keep big chunks out of the filter.

Yeah I'm not sure either but it's interesting how much this new intake/filter improves drivability.
