Cat delete pipes or Long Tubes?
I'm stuck in the midst of pulling the trigger on long tubes or cat delete pies for my M7 C7Z06. Current mods are hall tech CAI, Katech ported TB, Corsa X-pipe and Corsa Extreme cat back.
Mods to install: 2.31 upper pulley, DSX Flex fuel
So what do you guys think and recommend? I'm not trying to be the fastest kid on the block. I've already played that game many of time...
Thanks in advance.

If you want power then go with Long Tubes or even ARH Mids. IF you just want volume and more popping go for the cat delete. You have to tune either way.
Personally I went with catted midlength ARH headers. No regrets.

We always recommend long tubes. WE have had a few customers start with the off road pipes but they came back for long tubes. We have tons of options and we always have discounts for board members.

If you are not concerned about doing a tune, do the long tubes with hi-flow cats or complete off-road exhaust. It should just ROAR.
I did ARH mid-length with hi-flow cats, Corsa off-road double helix mid-pipe, and then Borla Atak dual mode mufflers. No tune required. When, or if, I get around to supercharging the Z51, I'll swap into full length ARH, tune, and everything then.
I know what you mean about, "I wont go overboard on this one"... hence why I've held off on adding a supercharger so far. It's such a slippery slope.
