Default What’s the best exhaust that produces best snap, crackle and pop?

I have a 2019 grand sport. I’m looking to purchase an aftermarket exhaust. I wanted to ask which exhaust produces the best snap, crackle and pop? Thank you.

Corsa does make a great product. Had one of their systems on my C5 and loved the sound.

Thanks for the reply. I’m curious why the HP gain on the corsa extreme cat back is only 4 HP. I believe the AWE valve back advertises 22 HP gain. The 22 HP gain is very attractive. If they both sound close why wouldn’t I choose the AWE system. I just want to know all the details before I drop 2k on one of these exhausts.

Putting Corsa on my C7 is the best thing I've done for the car. Awesome sound. Don't know anything about HP gain.

I suspect there's little to no gain on any cat back exhaust. The advertising is mostly bs.

NFW ANY cutback exhaust adds HP since GM started using bivalve exhaust. Just leave the exhaust in race mode and save $2500.

Take any hyped power gains from vendors with a BIG grain of salt.

Agreed.

Back pressure is bad... or you need a more free flowing exhaust PFFFT ....On a N/A non tuned no headers bone stock OEM car, its all hype and used to sell a product. The stock NPP system is tuned just fine for this lt1 motor and flows PLENTY.

As far as sound goes....just try the AWE mid pipe first if you want more burbles n stuff.

The guy who wrote that " Attractive 22 HP gain " is the same guy cruising the internet claiming to be a Brad Pit look alike and he even has pictures..
If you heard it on the internet, it probably is not true. These hyped claims are only encouraged by the gullible people who find them attractive.. ( NO slam to the OP ) its the reason the do it, though... Ive been here almost 20 years and 20% of the stuff I find on here, I know for a fact ,not to be true...
