Default C7 2014 z51 3lt

I'm a new corvette owner and want to get a little more sound from my exhaust. I have been reading some forums on exhaust from Corsa and Borla. I am wondering if which one I choose leaning on "CORSA" if I need just the XPIPE or the XPIPE AND CATBACK to get the best sound? Would prefer to keep the cost down best I can,any help is appreciated! Thanks

I put Corsa Sport and Corsa X-pipe on my 2014 Z51 3LT 7M and I absolutely love it! Nice idle, quiet cruise and loud at wide open throttle. The rear fascia does have to come off to do the swap so I had a professional do the job. Of course this negates the NPP function but I always ran it in open anyhow. The X-pipe eliminates the secondary cats which adds a bit of volume. The Corsa Extreme a bit over the top.... good luck! CJ

Start with the X-pipe, if its not loud enough then replace other pieces like the mufflers as needed.

I got a Borla X-pipe and its perfect... but they don't make the cat-less model anymore, however other vendors have similar offerings.
