Default Chevvy Performance Exhaust for C6 ????

I see Chevvy makes 2 exhaust systems for the C6, the Performance Exhaust and the Offroad Exhaust.

The threads I've seen so far all seem to deal with the Offroad Exhaust, but I haven seen any regarding the Performance Exhaust.

Does anyone have experience with the Performance (not Offroad) exhaust from Chevvy? I'm looking for a system that sounds good, but not obnoxiuosly loud.

Thanks. . . Stu

From what I've read here (no first hand knowledge), I think the consensus is that the GM exhausts are actually Borlas, if so the one you're referring to would be the Borla Touring. I did read one post where someone said Borla makes these exhausts but for the GM version they use a slightly different muffler.

Actually, I've read Borla makes the pipes, and GM makes the mufflers - but has anyone HEARD them?? or installed them on their car??

I have only seen them, and they look really cheap, especially for what you pay. The tips clip on. They actually look worse then stock!!!
