Default Axle back exhaust systems

To start off I know there is a lot on this forum about all of this, I been looking at Borla, Corsa, and Billy Boat axle back systems, my question to you guys is, is there a lot of different in exhaust tone? I talked to my dealership their thing is as long I don't do anything to the factory cats, I can do what I want from there, I know a lot on here do as they like, but for now I just like to know about the axle back systems. Thanks guys

They all sound different so your best bet is to hear them in person to hear what you'd like.

Corsa, Borla, and magnaflow are excellent. I've heard Billy Boat and they had too much drone.

If your in the Tri state NY NJ area one day your welcome to hear mine. Had the Corsa (loved them) but eventually switched to Borla Atak for more flexibility. It sounds sweet as well.

Good luck

So far I found this, Summit racing had the better price on the X-pipe, $358.99 part#60548
Borla Atak from Corvette Mods for $2,999.98 part#11875
Both with free shipping.

Talk to John at Marylandspeed or Ben at WeaponX motor sports for competitive pricing. Both are great guys to work with for parts. Good luck.

Took the words right out of my mouth - those are two of the best places for grabbing these systems, regardless of the brand the OP chooses.
