I'd like to see some evidence of these claims. While it's true for many, many vehicles, I don't think anyone has empirical proof that an axle-back exhaust does anything for the LLT/LFX platform performance-wise. The stock exhaust flows pretty decently.

ive read that catbacks for the lfx has minimal to no gains.. sounds like crap to me =\ prolly why when searching for exhaust they dont list any gains? but brand new 2013 v6.. i think im going to order my CAI today, i have Muffler Deletes that cost 100$.. its a good sound change over stock, i feel like it has some good rasp higher in gears.

Good compliments in wyoming even tho everyone feeds me shit for it being a v6. personally im going to upgrade to a catback when they decide to release some headers for us. just my 2 Cents.

Thanks for your order.

As you found out in your other thread, there are no headers for the LFX and never will be. Just wanted to post this so others who read this thread at a later time don't get led astray.

Is the GM option you mentioned a GM branded Borla axle-back? That's what I'm leaning towards.

yes
