NPP systems are 2.5". 3" gains power at any level, but it's mostly if you're north of 750-800 RWHP that you'll notice a gain, and only over 800 RWHP will you notice a gain worth feeling in your pants.
I feel confident I'll never scratch half of what the ZL1 can offer so it's really just sound for me and the idea of running headers to the track modes open valves rustles my jimmies.. in a very positive way. I really enjoyed my S type cat back from LTs in the 5th gen but like you said, the valve control with them peaks my interest. I think that with the rotofab Intake should keep me happy for a long while.

Same here.

would only consider it if they were considerably less expensive. At over $2100 that's a bit too pricey...like $1k overpriced, imo.

Agreed. That's where they sat in the 5th gen and why I went with them. They are flirting with the likes of acro and some euro brands assuming this car falls into a different clientele and it doesn't.

The 1100-1400 is a reasonable cat back range. Seeing some axle backs at 1k is comical. I'm not pointing fingers at borla... there are a few who have missed the mark on the 6th gen

@Lisa@Borla just wondering if you guys have a pic of what the inside of the muffler looks like? Is the inside baffled, and the outside with NPP straight through? Just curious on how much of a difference in sound there is.

I 'm patiently waiting for my S-type to get shipped. S-type and headers sounded great on my 5th gen.
