Help me choose the exhaust for my 1LE

Here are the options that I narrowed it down to. Let me know your thoughts!

I vote for Corsa Extreme, but I would add the Borla X-pipe 10606 and delete the secondary cats.

That is my plan when I am ready for an exhaust.

While you do lose the valve function, I would rather have no drone that the other systems seem to have.

Thanks for the input. This is the route I have been thinking as well.

Brow up a set of links to sound clips to each of you really want feedback

MBRP??

Since the axle back system is basically a sound mod only. I have a hard time justifying the insane prices they ask for the axle backs. It would be different if you gained about 20hp or the price was more in line with what you get. The 3 systems you listed are all very different in both price and perceived quality. The Corsa being the best but most expensive.

All that being said. I am happy with the Borla 60606 mid pipe with the secondary cat delete. I retained the factory NPP system axle back. I am happy with the price and the sound. Best bang for the buck.

I agree that its mostly for sound. Actually the price point between the tree above are less than $100 from each other. So that is the reason I am also comparing them. I have been considering a mid pipe, however, I may do a header right after axle back. So I may wait to do the mid pipe.

Pull the fuse. It keeps the valves open. It's still a bit quiet but sounds way better. I'm not spending 1000 on a muffler.

I have the exhaust set for track mode all the time. Not quite what I am looking for.

How about long tube headers first?
They will get you power and sound, though will end the warranty.

JonD · 07-23-2018, 08:27 PM

Only reason i’ll go ARH full system is because I want to drop weight.
Or I’d only go Headers

It still gets quiet while cruising in track mode.

Anyway flowmaster sounds totally bad arse. I would go that route. Or the MBRP or what ever it is sounds great too.
