Default Yet another cat-back question

I'm going to buy either a Borla, Corsa, or Akrapovic cat-back system for my 2015 ZO6. Do all three of these work in co-junction with the mode selector. In touring I want my car to still be very quiet, that is my main concern.
If all three do, which one do you recommend?

Thanks

No, the Corsa doesnt use the mode. You zip tie the connector, no codes.

Akrapovič's system does in fact work with the valves, so you're good to go. The Slip-On Line system has two valves. The system maintains the valve regulation of the NPP (Performance exhaust) system and is developed to be compatible with the car’s drive mode selector, and Akrapovič engineers have developed an electronic device to drive the exhaust valves for each mode—Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track—giving the driver an even greater opportunity to enjoy the sound of the Akrapovič Slip-On Line across the whole spectrum of the car’s performance.

I have the Corsa Extreme cat-back exhaust, and it deletes the actuators. You control the volume with the pedal. Both Akrapovič, Borla, as well as Magnaflow and a few other maintain the NNP/Sound Management.

No regrets w/Corsa. Deep throaty tone without the drone

I ordered the Corsa Sport. Hopefully I'm happy with it. I'm sure I will be.
