Can you ballpark the cost - parts and labor - of the exhaust for us?
Does the mfg. tout a hp increase or just noise increase?
Actually the Z51 spoiler, along with the Z51 19" front and 20" rear wheels and tires came with the FE2 MSRC option. The Mag ride option on the base suspension is a new option for the '16 and '17 MY Corvette Stingrays. Previously, the only way to get Mag ride as an option was that you had to have a Z51 equipped car. (MSRC is standard on Z06 and GS) The FE2 (MSRC) option still did not include a rear stabilizer bar so I installed the match set Z51 F&R bars.

As far as the exhaust ...I had the standard non NPP exhaust and it was just too damn quiet. I went with the Borla ATAK axleback attached to the standard H pipe with cats. The sound is really aggressive under acceleration yet quiet when cruising. This is what I wanted. The cost of the axleback Borka ATAK was $1255 with free shipping and the dealer charged me $175 to install it.
The Mfg (Borla) does claim an increase in HP and Torque. I suspect it brings me at least comparable to the 460 HP and 465LBS FT of Torque that comes with NPP optioned Vettes.

Nothing like a few mods to make the car reflect your tastes. Well done.
