Borla S-Type on Non NPP. Drone?
Hi All, i just got a 2016 2ss convertible last weekend. I have been looking for months, and the deal i got was too hard to pass up especially the color i was looking for.
ANYWAY, I really wanted NPP for obvious reasons, but this one did not come with that option. I am looking to see if anyone has a Non NPP model that has added an Borla S-Type Axel Back Exhaust. I have a few questions. 1) Will i experience drone? 2) Compared to stock how much of an improvement in sound will i experience? 3) I see it says that the Cat Back has an exception for convertible. Has anyone taken the chance to order and try to install on a convertible? |

No drone. It's awesome with my ATAK system. At cruise is same as stock. The cat-back systems will interfere with the extra bracing on the convertible models.

Borla advertises no drone regardless.

Have the S-type axle back as well. Got off Amazon for $730 at the time. Zero drone and sounds amazing. Didn’t want ATAK b/c s-type is quieter. But it’s perfect volume to me. Sounds incredibly good.

Thanks for all the responses, I think I will be getting the S-type. Out of the individuals that said they already have the s-type did you have to get the AFM bypass module? i heard without it when the car switches to 4 cyl it sounds like crap.
Thoughts? |

But don't waste your $ on a bypass module. You won't need it. |

I love how people are talking about the atak. You may as well talk about a corsa exhaust. Atak and s type are not related at all
