Default Exhaust question

I have a non performance exhaust. I would like to eventually put a complete system on. Looking for a nice aggressive sound without drone.

Headers? Axle back or cat back?

I also have a base Stingray without performance exhaust. I added the Corsa Sport axle back and I like it. Corsa makes a louder version than the Sport and there is also Borla. Check out youtube and listen for yourself.

Would headers be something I would want to do also?

did you install the axle-back or did a shop?

I have the full Corsa cat-back Extreme system and couldn’t be happier. Simple install using Race Ramps in my garage. No worries about codes or tuning. If you decide to go w/headers, then tuning is “generally” required. Loud throaty tone without the drone

Same here, went with the Corsa Sport as this one is a keeper and the Extreme, though it sounds amazing is so much louder, it's like waking up to your favorite AC/DC tune EVERY morning. Is that a plus? For some yes, for me, it would begin to get a bit old......

Hooker shorty headers here and Akrapovic axle backs. Great sound. Have them on a z06 and no codes.
