Also wondering if they (their valved axle-back exhausts) can be retrofitted without too much difficulty/complexity on non-NPP units...

Enlarged their cover shot... looks good, can't wait to see better pics from Borla.

The Aluminum diffuser is something that since I saw the C7 day one in January I thought fins on the lower part of that *** end done right would make it more edgey..this Aluminum piece looks real nice....

We will be offering all 3 sound levels in 3 different valve configurations.

1) - Both NPP and AFM

2) - Just AFM

3) - No valves at all (Race/Track)

Cheers!

will you offer the dual angular tips as a cosmetic stand alone option to the factory z51 nap exhaust? If so, I am interested (as would many others I imagine)

I am going with the standard exhaust. The NPP exhaust tips are overly large for the surround, saving $1,100, at the speed of sound you will not hear the exhaust anyway.

I really like what Borla has incoming for the C7. I'm ordering NPP as I want to functionality of the valves and ability to quieten the exhaust at times.

Plans are to upgrade to the Borla system that has NPP valve options. Will most likely stay with the 4-round tips option.

Has Borla given any indication on weight differences between stock and their units yet?

I'm sure we'll offer those tips separately. There may be some modification necessary to make them fit with other exhaust systems but it will be possible for sure.
