C7 with non NPP, what pipes improve sound?
Looking for an x-pipe that wont break the bank that will improve the sound of the stock non npp exhaust. I don't want to sound to crazy either. Thanks

I don't think just an x-pipe will help you with the sound. It's probably going to be aftermarket mufflers you need. Hopefully someone that knows more smarts than me (and that ain't hard 
) will come along with better info.

The dealer is going to put a Borla S-Type Axle Back System on mine this week. The sound of the Borla systems I have heard on many cars has been incredible. Really looking forward to installation day. This one fits your car without NPP (There are others available if you search the Borla site): https://www.borla.com/products/c7_co...rt__11868.html
Summit Racing lists the system for a little better price: https://www.summitracing.com/search?...0borla%2011868
Not sure the year of your car but the Service Director at my dealership said the installation of this system has no impact on the new car warranty.

Borla or Corsa... there are others, but you can go wrong with either. It’ll sound better without the rearward cats, but the non-NPP mufflers are still going to reduce some of the volume. I’d recommend going with a complete cat-back system to really notice any differences, and the tips will look better too.

My recommendation would be a Corsa system, but everyone has different tastes in what is a good sounding exhaust. I had a Corsa Indy Pace Car system on my C5 and it was awesome. Before you decide to purchase something, you may want to attend some Corvette events and see if C7s there have an aftermarket exhaust on them and ask if you can listen to it I'd bet most owners would glady let you hear the exhaust.
