Default Exhaust system

Anyone make a loud exhaust system for the 14 bette and that is reasonable in price besides Corsa, Flowmaster, and Borla?

Flowmaster is going to be your least expensive option, but I would expect to have some drone issues with it. There is also the B&B but I am also hearing of some drone issues.

The reason the C7 exhaust systems are so expensive is due to the additional AFM valves the car has. It has caused a lot of additional R&D and delays for the manufacturers.

Flowmaster in its cat system says it is not a loud system. Corsa sounds the best. But I didn't know if anyone has found something or done something to the exhaust system to make it louder other than using Corsa.
Let me know out there if someone finds a system or does something to improve the sound.

I guess I’ve never understood the desire to have an offensively loud exhaust system. Don

I have ARH headers / Offroad X-pipe / B&B Bullets

It is LOUD and gurgles/pops when I let off the gas. I can't drive through a parking lot without tripping car alarms.


I wouldn't have it any other way LOL

In fact here is a sound clip of my car
