Exhaust

Wife has a 2017 ZL1, she hates how quite the exhaust is. So she is wanting a deep throaty exhaust, sorta old school deep. What’s everyone suggest? She likes the way my 2013 ZL1 sounds but doesn’t want to go crazy like I did. I have headers, H pipe and stock mufflers and it is what she’s wanting. But she doesn’t want to go catless.

Thanks

I would be afraid to run into the valve problems with the Borla. IMO the Corsa sounds amazing and the Polished Black tips accent the gunmetal ZL1 wheels really well.

I did the Stainless Works axleback to retain the factory valves. But i also have ARH 2" catless headers.

Corsa sounds great but I would definitely say it isn’t a deep old school tone. It’s more high pithed raspy exotic sounding IMO.

Borla valve issues are solved, I have their ZL1 specific S catback. It sounds good. Loud enough where you don't need headers loud but I assume with headers it wouldn't blow you out of the cabin.

Why can't you install the Valveless Borla like the Corsa has if your worried?

Last time I looked at Corsa catback for the ZL1, it was not 3". Otherwise I'd probably be running it right now. Currently I am waiting on the Zl1 system with carbon tips.

They don't sell it all in one for some reason. But they do offer a midpipe that can be purchased separately to create a catback. At least that's what I recall.
