Default Exhaust???

What is GM refering to when they make mention of...GM Pergormance exhaust? The option price at the dealer is about $1700 (and it's not the NPP)

The exhaust that is offered by Genuine Corvette Accessories, but I believe it is either made by Borla or Corsa, can't remember which.

It's a Borla and I thought its price was around $1200,but I guess it differs on which dealer you ask.

Don't waste your money ordering exhaust from the factory......I picked up Borla stingers on Ebay for 950$ and put them on myself........Save a few hundred bucks and get nice quality aftermarket exhaust.......

I have a sound clip if you are interested......

If you decide to go with the Stingers, give Jimmy at Atomic Autosports a call. He is a great guy, and will get you a great price. I ordered mine from him yesterday.

Your local GM dealer sells and installs Corsa exhaust systems, so that means they warranty the system.

I like the price at Atomic....is it worth getting the X-pipe? I'm don't see myself putting header's on it at this point. I had someone reply to me earlier that the X-pipe is a wast of money.

The x-pipe will help reduce the burble and pop, but it won't have much effect on the drone. Buy just the over axle section and try that first keeping the X-pipe a possible option after you get to hear it with the stock H-pipe. I went that route and it saved me the expense of buying a piece that I ended up not wanting.

I have the gm performance exhaust. There are a couple versions of it. You also have to buy the tips separately. The round tips will have GCA with a logo on them not sure about the others. Don't bother with the x pipe now it may come with the headers you'll eventually want. I had a lot of burble and popping before and after the addition of the x pipe and headers. Check gmpartsdirect.coms accessory section for prices.
