So I am looking to make my car sound a little better, but when looking at both Borla and Corsa, neither recommends installation in a convertible. Have any of you installed these systems, and how happy are you with them?

You must be focused on the cat-back systems? I have the GM Performance exhaust upgrade on my car. It's a Borla S-Type axle-back wearing a bow tie and was installed by my local dealership last year. Added some lower frequencies and just a hint of rasp on cold startup. More throaty than stock but not overbearing.

The X-Pipe is likely why they're saying "NOT recommended for Convertibles" as the 'vert has cross bracing under the car that has less clearance for the exhaust. This is why the stock pipes are crimped, even on the coupe (same pipes whether convertible or coupe).

It can be done on a convertible as others have done it but all MFG's will say it won't fit. If you are only looking for sound as you mentioned, just get yourself an axle back exhaust from either Borla or Corsa and you will be grinning ear to ear and no issues with fitament.

It should have a tune update for your Active Noise Cancellation too. No other exhaust in the world has that.
