Good axle back system to replace the TI
Im doing a tr6060 upgrade and i need to modify my axle back(add 2.5 inch).Since i dont know anyone or shop near me that weld titanium, i would need to change the axle back system for a standard stainless steel one.
Wich one would you suggest if im searching the closest replacement for stock TI.
Something kinda quiet at idle but loud at WOT.
Something that fit great.
Something has light has possible
Thanks
Eric

Borla Stingers maybe??
I have a 03Z06 with LG street headers, no cats, borla stingers, dyno tuned. As far as sound love the sound. Borlas used to get a bad rep for creating drone while cruising around 1500rpm. Borla claims they have fixed it. Mine do not drone.
Good luck! and let us know which route you decide to go!

i hate borlas, drone and too old school sounding
I can cruise at highway speeds in 6th gear without any drone. If I'm down low in the rpm range, 1000 - 1200 rpm, then I'll get drone. I usually keep the revs up higher than that when I'm driving so it's not really an issue for me.

Too old school sounding? That's a roar that'll put hair on yer chest.

All of the above systems will be much louder than Tis. Borla Stingers are great until you start other mods that increase sound, like headers, and a cam. I'd find a Ti welder. It's not that difficult.

I can vouch for the corsa sport, I believe they are the same as my corsa pace car exhaust.
It's very quite, with no drone when you are cruising, and loud when you get on it.
The second one is in a parking structure, so it's not that loud, but it's still pretty loud.
Also, if you plan on going with headers, I was told these get even louder but are still quite when you are cruising.

I don't know what you mean by "fluttery" but I guess it does sound a bit raspy because the sound was too loud for the camera. I love the way my exhaust sounds, I prefer it to every other borla I've heard. I do like the BB exhausts though, but I was told their drone can be obnoxious.

My B&B PRT sounds amazing. Now with high flow cats sounds even better.
i dont find it to have any drone.
For ppl that wanna cut CABIN exhaust noise simple answer is trunk partition (cuts the noise in half

corsa titanium is you want light and a great sounding exhaust. Problem is you will have to find it used. they don't make it any more
Magnaflow is always a great choice for not loud during normal driving but great at wot.
Both will meet your expectations for sure.
Hope that helps
