Any Vert ZL1's install Borla or Corsa?

Just checking to see if any convertible ZL1's have installed an aftermarket catback in their car. Corsa? Borla? any modifications to the undercarriage bracing needed?

Not an answer to your question but some info. Installed headers and long tubes, kept OEM muffler. Had to remove undercarriage bracing to install. Undercarriage back in place after install. Not sure about CATback only install.

Ok, was hoping for a quick response, thank you @conradsteph.

So, the Borla catback will fit the convertible. There’s a double x configured brace underneath the car. There’s no problem with the x pipe toward the front, underneath the first X bracing, but at the rear, we had to sneak the bracing in between the frame and the exhaust. It does touch the exhaust, and at times there is a vibration, at times there is no vibration. I will post pics omg saturday when I head back to to my installer and can get pics underneath!
