We haven't had any fitment issues with Stainless works. The only issue we have is one of our quad tips whistles at WOT.

Best regards,

Anyone know anything about Bill Boat systems? He has 2 for the ZL1. The Fusion system is bimodal the other is sort of intermediate. I haven't seen anyone talk about these as a option. I was thinking of Magies, Corsa or Borla - I had the Borla Sport and Kooks Headers on my 2012 SS and it sounded really good- then was reading about the Billy Boats and they looked like a different but well made option.

Just did Mild 2 Wild to get some flavor of whether the stock exhaust all open is an OK sound. Seems to have a lot of drone at 55- 70 mph and not as good sounding as the SS was with Kooks and Borla. So its good to be able to shut the system down on occasion.

It took me literally months to choose this system, so I feel your pain. These are fairly quiet at low rpms, but absolutely scream at WOT. Would love to hear them on the LSA.

Note: I have headers as well:

And WOT lol:

Ok so I've decided on the Borla. If I don't like it then guess what? It's coming off and will try the SW retro. Thanks for everyone's input!
