Z-Pipe - Corvette C8 Z06/ZR1 Specific - 3.000" ID Inlet/Outlet - 316L Stainless

Z-Pipe by Formula Z Performance — Corvette C8 Z06 / ZR1 Specific

The Z-Pipe by Formula Z Performance is an innovative, patent-pending dual-exhaust crossover engineered to deliver measurable performance gains and a refined exhaust note in an exceptionally compact package. Designed as a superior alternative to a traditional X-pipe, the Z-Pipe maintains a constant, unrestricted exhaust pathway that promotes high-velocity gas flow, improved scavenging, and increased volumetric efficiency.

This Corvette C8 Z06 / ZR1–specific Z-Pipe is precisely engineered to fit the factory rear bumper and exhaust tip outlet area, ensuring proper alignment and straightforward integration into the vehicle’s exhaust system. Like all Formula Z Z-Pipes, it is positioned completely downstream of all emissions components, making installation simple while preserving emissions system functionality.

Each Z-Pipe is manufactured from high-quality 316L stainless steel using advanced Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selectively Laser Melting (SLM) additive manufacturing processes. This method allows for an extremely compact external shape and highly controlled internal geometry, resulting in smooth, high-speed exhaust flow with zero reduction in cross-sectional area.

Unlike conventional X-pipes, which rely on a shared crossover chamber, the Z-Pipe is designed to create a true, balanced exchange between exhaust banks. By splitting and recombining a portion of flow from each side, the Z-Pipe forces complete stream mixing, producing a stronger scavenging effect and helping each exhaust pulse pull the next one along. The result is improved throttle response across the entire RPM range, increased horsepower, and a cleaner, more exotic exhaust tone with reduced drone.
