I like the Paragon better for it has V band clamps in the mid section and it looks cleaner.

CORSA 21100 is approved by GM, and you can installe it with them and it will not effect the warranty, and I saw that Lingenfelter Performance is selling the CORSA.

None of them. Muffler delete at your local muffler shop. Cheaper, better sounding.

CORSA is the easy choice between these two.

Needs either a "Borla" button or an "other" button. Given the choices, Corsa for sure.

That's a loaded question since different shops charge different rates, but I'd say no more than $500. All they're doing it cutting the muffler out and welding in some replacement pipes. You might need to spend a little more to get AFM sumulators so you don't get a CEL, but otherwise should still be far less expensive than an aftermarket system and sound better.

Default Thanks Dom

Much appreciated. Waiting impatiently for my 2023 C8. As I look around for used C8’s see many without the performance exhaust so trying to think outside the box and not pay more then I need to to capture a performance sound.

Eh, I’m going to say neither. I have anon-npp car with an exhaust similar to the paragon touring pipe. It’s pretty loud on cold starts. No biggie, I just start it with the garage door closed. The big issue for me is the v4 sound under light load. Hard to describe it, but it sucks. I’m now on the search for a Borla s-type exhaust at a good price.

I'd love to work with you on a black friday deal for you on a new sew set. Corsa makes a muffler delete with AFM valves to give you all the loud with the benefits of the AFM valves.

You'll get a ton of differing opinions when it comes to exhaust, it's very subjective. I'm always partial to Corsa but depends on what kind of tone/volume you're after, if your car has valves etc.

Does your car have the NPP/Z51 package?

Corsa, Borla, AWE & more systems are in stock and on sale for Black Friday.
