Best exhaust for non-NPP SS?

Hey everyone! I'm new to these forums. Previously before owning this car I had a 1998 Z/28 and a 1999 Corvette C5. Had my share of turbo imports (240sx, etc) as well.

I just picked this thing up on Saturday. It's a 2016 SS w/ M6, non NPP. I was wondering if I could just buy a quad tip exhaust (they all seem to be NPP), and install it on my car? Of course I'd need the lower fascia too. But is there anything I need to seal up or weld on a quad tip exhaust that is meant for NPP?

I can't seem to find a quad tip exhaust for a Non-NPP vehicle.

EDIT: Forgot to mention it must be a CAT-BACK exhaust.

I just found this 3" set up, which looks pretty gnarly, and its not for NPP. I might upgrade to it for a deeper tone... I wonder tho if going to a 3" set up will create any HP loss. I think its intended for modded higher power engines.

That exhaust is nice. But it says right in the description

2016-2017 Camaro SS 6.2L engine Automatic/ Manual Trans. 2 door equipped with Dual Mode Exhaust (NPP) or Dual Split Rear Exit bumper.
I wonder if that means there is no choice to order it without the mounts/parts for the NPP. Or if I can just weld up or block off the NPP portion of it.

This system has dual tips and will fit the vehicles equipped with Dual Mode Exhaust (NPP) but it does not include Dual Mode valves. It is intended for vehicles with significant upgrades that require a larger diameter exhaust.
I think it says that because only the NPP cars come with the appropriate rear bumper to fit the 4 tips, but the NPP function is not added, which will work for you just fine.

They also offer the X Pipe and the Axleback with the regular 2.75" with the quad tips and without NPP valves.

I went with Stainless works and I get complements on a daily basis for sound and looks

Single or dual tips? Can you send me a link to the SW exhaust you got?

ThatGmpartsguy.com sells the gloss NPP rear facia, with the core charge it's around $240. On top of that, in my honest opinion for exhaust would be to select a reputable exhaust shop and have them weld on a custom set up for you. Plus Summit makes a set of very quality quad tips for around $180 ($90ea). I've read where getting the facia painted would run around $100.

Thanks for the fascia tip. I found it on some GM website for $100 but I'm sure there is a core charge as well, forgot about that.

I would only go to an exhaust shop if they made modular exhausts. I don't want something that is welded everywhere and can only be removed by cutting it off. You know?

I really like the MBRP exhaust, SW, Borla, etc.


EDIT: If anyone else is in the same boat as me, this is the fascia you need for the quad tips.

I did what you are talking about. Here is the thread with before and after photos.
