Default Stock exhaust with Borla x pipe, wanting more... axleback? Opinions please

Hello everyone, right now I have the borla x pipe. While it did increase sound I am looking for more.

I am thinking about corsa extremes with their x pipe. I assume my borla x pipe won't fit and I'll need to sell It?

Anyone else go from an x pipe only to a full axleback?

Any other options? Not looking to add headers as I don't want to tune the car. I have a mamo ptb and BMS air filter also.

Anyone have the borla atak?

Thanks.

Mike, I've got the full Corsa Extreme with their Double Helix x-pipe. I've combined it with a Halltech Cold Air Intake and a WeaponX ported throttle body......LOVE the results!

I can only image how well it will work on a ZO6.

I typically experiment w/different exhaust systems on my vehicles until I find the perfect combination of tone, volume... without drone. I installed the full Corsa Extreme cat-back kit shortly after delivery. 1.5 years later I still have it, which is a first for me. No regrets

P.S. Not 100% certain, but I believe that the Borla X-pipe will bolt-up to the Extremes. Note: you'll lose the NPP functionality, which I never used anyway, but just an FYI.

What about eliminating the front cats?

But then you'll have to tune the car anyway or have the CEL.

The corsa extreme will mate up with the bola x-pipe just fine. I chose Billy Boat bullets to go with my Borla x-pipe. Sounds great. I was worried about drone but I haven't found it to be a problem at all.

Hit me up if you'd like to chat about the axle back section. Personally, the titanium Akraprovic is the best sounding exhaust on the market and mates to the x pipe too

What Vette do you have? Also how's the drone inside? is it true that there is no drone inside?

Are the Corsa extremes as raspy as Corsa sports?
