Borla X-Pipe for Z06 - Best Price?
#22
Intermediate
I have to disagree. There is a drone and it is not pleasant. My 16 z06 with the Borla x-pipe sounded like a truck. I liked the sound of the factory exhaust in track mode. In my opinion the X-pipe totally changed the exhaust sound not for the better. I thought the x-pipe would help reduce heat and add to performance. I did sense a loss of torque getting out of the hole with the Borla x-pipe installed. Previous mods are the a PTB and BMS filter. Both of those mods improved performance. I think the x-pipe reversed usable power on the bottom end.
I removed the x-pipe and went back to factory. Power returned and drone is gone.

I'm leaning towards Borla for the C7Z because I read the pipe circumference is the same as OEM, unlike the Corsa which I believe is smaller.
Lastly, just making sure we're comparing apples to apples as I'm looking at the Borla PN #60547 which eliminates the secondary cats but maintains the NPP. Below is the link to the original CF review that peaked my interest. Also, does it make a difference if the car is an A8 or M7? I was searching on line and Borla had a C7 X-pipe listed for "manual C7s" but didn't list a part number?!

Anyone do the Borla Xpioe that retains the rear cats? Not sure I want to risk failing a visual inspection.

I have a Borla x-pipe for sale. Had it installed last week and took it off today. Way to loud for me and I don't like the sound or the drone inside the cabin. This is a off road x-pipe works fine but not for me. Will sell with box and all Borla bolts and clamps. $200 plus shipping.

In reading the previous threads, I'm curious who offers the best price on the Borla X-pipe for a Z06? I also understand that last year there was a batch of Borla X-pipes produced that had fitment issues so I want to confirm that those have been removed from "online vendor shelves".
Anyone have any current information or preferred vendors?
Thanks!

I believe so. Thanks for the clarification.
Anyone else with this type of feedback? I've used Corsa X-pipes in the past and did not have any drone, even with their axle back systems also installed.
