Borla x pipe
Hey everyone -
im new to this so please be patient-
I recently bought a very clean low mile C7 3LT Z51. I’m very happy with it but have been doing a lot of mods-
I just received my Borla X pipe and notice I have to keep the Catalytic converters, what?
uuugh - is this going to give me the same sound I’m looking for or will this just me more of the same of what I have.
it the Borla a bigger diameter than the original?
should I consider having someone lengthen it for me. I called Borla and they said they stopped selling because they were illegal. Hmmm ... what to do
any ideas?
I appreciate any help-

uuugh - you know I had read that they discontinued but had forgotten. The minute I opened I was reminded by the length- do you think it will get any different sound with the cats on?
