NPP alternative?
EDIT: I was not clear with my original question, so I'm updating this post to be more on point. Original post remains below...
In my search for a car, there are a number of them that are "close" to what I want but are not factory-equipped with NPP. What alternatives to an NPP exhaust are out there that will give me a nice sound without being overbearing? If I were able to get NPP, I would make use of the stealth mode because I don't want it to be overly loud in many situations. So, my search here is for something that would give me a nice tone that would be less harsh at least while not hard on the throttle (coming home, for example, I wouldn't want to be rumbling down my street) since it may be an exhaust with a "constant setting". --------------------- What aftermarket options are there to richen the exhaust tone without being overbearing? I’m looking for a seemingly unheard of combo of options and am wondering what some good options are if I can find NPP on the car I buy. I like the idea of the Stealth Mode and will likely use it “enough” that a stock exhaust would be perfectly fine. But for those times when I’d like to hear it a bit more... well... Ideas ?

Man, all these people wanting to change shit. Still in my first week and get goose bumps when I cold start, even in track mode. I Giggle when I switch to track mode right before going into a longer tunnel.
The 2SS is a rolling work of art and love. Wanting to change her before you buy her is like scheduling been surgery for a supermodel you haven't started dating yet.

Any good quality aftermarket exhaust system will be good to put on the car. NPP is a nice optional exhaust but if you are planning on changing it then the aftermarket is the way to go if you buy an SS with the regular exhaust!

I am only looking at change-out options in the even that the car doesn’t have NPP. If NPP equipped, no changes.

I got a 2016 SS without NPP. And was in the same exact boat as you describe. QTP was high on my list but pricey. I also considered the Borlas but, again, pricey. I decided to gamble on low cost and went with MBRP axle backs. They're perfect.
Now, keep in mind, non-npp is two pipes out the back and many of the aftermarket options are four. That was fine with me because the stock valance/diffuser is ugly as sin. So, when I went to put on the MBRPs, I also swapped out the diffuser. Still a lot less expensive than the QTPs and Borlas. |
