Yes, z06 version just because if I have to resell it, didn't want to have to explain how I modded the base version, or if it didn't fit or have issues, didn't want hooker blaiming me for modding it.

Looks good!

Anyone know the weight of each of these systems? I have the old Borla S Type catback and the drone is getting to me. The catback itself is only 21lbs, so it's not that heavy. But I hate the drone and the bends before it exits. I'm sure a straighter thru design would help.

I have the Borla ATAK and that **** is LOUD I'm thinking that I may consider something a bit tamer around town/highway and rips wide open....the ATAK rips around town and just brutal at WOT! lol

Sub.

I think all but the no muffler will way more than that. The hemholtz system is advertised as 9lbs light than factory, and factory is around 45-50lbs.

Damn that sucks. I'd be gaining weight by going to any of these setups. I was surprised by how little the borla weighed, but the drone is killing me. I'll see how yours sounds and decide then.

Unreal

I searched for the past year for no drone and light weight. It doesn't exist besides maybe the Ti Akro, and even then I've heard they drone.

So I rather be quiet and enjoyable, than save 20lbs. I drive my car WAY too much to deal with loud.

I spoke to Borla and they claim their new S Type II has ZERO drone. It weighs 40lbs, so about 10 less than stock.

Unreal

All the "zero drone" claims are on stock cars. Once you add headers, cam, etc that is all out the window.

NachosZO6

Well then, that changes everything.

Drone appears to be a bit subjective on here, but I've even heard complaints that there's a "tad" of drone with the AKRA Ti system on stock cars (C6Z's and ZR1's). I've definitely heard those sentiments when cam, LT's. etc are introduced into the equation.

Interested to see how the Hooker NPP system handles drone in the closed setting.

Unreal

Just like the B&B dual mode drones on some cars. Just depends on headers/cat/cam/etc.

Lots of overlap seems to be more droney.

My car, even on bone stock mufflers I've been told is one of the loudest vettes around. People always comment how loud and good it sounds. Must be something about 1200rwhp worth of air through the mufflers sounds different than 600hp.

There is no drone in my car with the Borla Touring. It's pretty tame until you get your foot in it, but definitely louder than stock with flaps closed. I don't know why this axle back gets no love on this site. Probably because most want their car to as obnoxious as possible.

David Borla

Thanks for this, we've been successful eliminating drone. I think the Touring system is underappreciated as well. To your point, we've certainly seen a trend towards very loud exhaust systems in the last few years. The thing is, they can only get so loud. Eventually the pendulum will swing back the other way. It always does with trends.

I suppose it's time to get a GoPro. Then I can shoot a clip or two.

I also have your GM/Borla cat back on my 2015 Denali with the 6.2 ltr. Absolutely no drone, even when towing.

Anxiously waiting for feedback of the blackheart

David Borla

Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

I have the Borla S-Type ll on my supercharged C6 with headers and hi flow cats, and there is zero drone at any speed.
