Transform your Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray into a more exotic, race-inspired machine with the STRATEC™ F1 C8 Z06 Carbon Fiber Conversion Kit. Designed for 2020+ Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT models, this conversion delivers the aggressive appearance of a Z06-inspired center-exit rear end while replacing the factory side-exit exhaust configuration with our signature center quad-exit design.
At the heart of the conversion is the STRATEC™ F1 Series Titanium Center Exit Exhaust System, engineered for reduced weight, improved exhaust flow, and a sharper, more aggressive exhaust character compared to the factory system.
IMPORTANT SOUND INFORMATION
The F1 Z06 Conversion Kit alone will not make a factory C8 Stingray sound exactly like the high-pitched F1-style vehicles shown in our videos and promotional content.
The C8 Stingray's 6.2L LT2 engine has a traditional cross-plane V8 architecture, so achieving a significantly higher-pitched, exotic exhaust note requires additional supporting modifications.
For customers looking to achieve the full STRATEC™ F1-style high-pitch setup, we recommend pairing the conversion with:
-
8-4-1 / Equal-Length Performance Headers
-
Stage 2 Engine Tune / ECU Calibration
-
TCM Tune / High-RPM DCT Calibration
These supporting modifications help improve exhaust pulse characteristics, increase the usable RPM range, optimize shift behavior, and allow the exhaust system to produce a more aggressive, higher-pitched sound at higher engine speeds.
Sound will vary depending on headers, catalytic converters, engine calibration, TCM calibration, resonators, and other vehicle modifications. The conversion kit by itself should not be expected to duplicate the sound of a flat-plane-crank C8 Z06 LT6 engine.
Whether you're looking for a complete Z06-inspired rear transformation or simply want to convert your factory side-exit Stingray exhaust to an aggressive center-exit configuration, STRATEC™ offers multiple options to fit different builds and budgets.

F1 Sound Disclaimer: The STRATEC™ F1 Series Titanium Exhaust is engineered to produce a sharper, higher-pitched and more exotic exhaust tone; however, the exhaust system alone will not make a factory C8 Stingray replicate the sound characteristics of a high-revving flat-plane-crank engine. Achieving the full “F1-style” sound may require additional modifications such as ECU/TCM tuning, revised shift points, headers, intake, valvetrain and/or other engine modifications that allow the vehicle to operate safely at higher RPM. Final sound will vary based on vehicle configuration and supporting modifications.
