ZL1 exhaust vert?

I’m trying to decide what exhaust to go with? Headers and exhaust? Cat back exhaust, axle back exhaust? I was thinking Borla atak, but not recommended verts because of rattle I was told. Vendoe recommended AEW track axle back. I would like something fairy loud. Doing a CAI also. Stock currently. Thanks!

For my 2023 ZL1 I went with CSP (made by Stainless Works) 2" headers, Ultra Flow CATs (deleted the secondary CATs), Street Engineering CAT Delete stainless exhaust/X-pipe, and Corsa Axle-Back quad 4.0" black tips. Mine sounds phenomenal and no drone, tour mode is quite as can be and track mode sounds like a beast, even has a slight bit of a lope idle sound !

With the vert, your somewhat limited on catback, or full exhaust
Because of the extra cross framing…. I installed borla axle back,
Well made, relatively inexpensive, quiet on tour mode, and
Quite annoying on sport mode!

I’m in this same boat minus the very part. I have a 2023 and want an exhaust, not headers at this stage, so I’m not sure which way to go. It appears as if the on,y 2 options for retaining the stock NPP is either Borla or CORSA correct? I want it very loud but want the option of having it not drone when the rare time the wife rides with me. I really want the AWE track but am afraid it will be to loud with her in the car. Thanks.

The AWE Touring is stupid loud. When I had the Touring axle back and deleted secondary cats it was so loud that I had to add AWE resonated midpipes (I still have those laying in my basement). The AWE Track has to be deafening.

That’s good to know. I assumed the touring wouldn’t be much louder than stock. How was the drone at normal cruising speeds?

AWE really doesn’t do a good job with the naming. People think the Touring is a slight change from stock. It’s not. It’s a huge difference.
I’ve got the Touring axle-back. No other mods. When you start the car, and when you get on the throttle it is very loud. Cruising at highway speeds it’s a comfortable hum.
Instead of Touring and Track, the exhausts should have been named LOUD, and HOLY F*&K.

Yah as mentioned above the names are totally wrong. Touring is ridiculously loud but there is no drone at any rpm. Just LOUD.

I ended up after the headers and high flow cats having to add MBRP resonators too. Now it’s loud but not deafening.
