Quick question Jim should I forget about ordering the NPP exhaust for the 1LE Camaro if I'm planning on getting the Borla ATAK CatBack system? I don't see any dual tips for this system so I'm thinking that I should just get the normal exhaust that has the single exhaust tips. Is this correct?

catback or axle back
I’ve been on the fence for a borla cat-back or axle back. I have a 2013 SS L99 with AFM. I don’t plan on headers.
I will be ordering the rangev8 soon to turn off AFM. My question is; are the cat-backs much louder than axle backs? I don’t want anything too loud to the point where I can’t carry a decent conversation in the cabin. Are the atak models really loud compared to the s-type, in terms of cabin noise and outside noise? Any input southercarparts and or members? |

That's exactly the set-up I have on my 2013 2SS/RS L99 - Borlas S-Type catbacks with Range. They are definitely louder than axle backs; but not too loud; deep, throaty sound with little drone IMO. Not as loud or raspy as the ATAK.

Thanks for the input. Is exhaust really annoying without range?

ATAK
Get the Atak catback. You won't be dissapointed. It's not over the top. Everyone who has heard mine loves it. I have ATAK catback systems on my Corvette, my gmc sierra, and my SS. Wouldn't go with any other system. The catback system is definately louder than just the axle back.

Only a little not very noticeable at all. I do have a diablo tune on it though so no afm. I started with the axle back on the camaro and decide to contact borla and get the xpipe for it and it was a huge difference. I also added the npp diffuser and quad tips. Very happy with how it came out. Lt headers and hi-flow cats are next on the list at some point.

I was thinking of getting a full catback. But wanted to keep stock resonator in case I Remove rangev8 device and afm kicks in. I'm thinking the resonator will help dampen the sound of afm. Not that I plan to remove range device, unless I drive highway for a few hrs. If doing a catback with borla stype and afm does kick in, will it be really annoying in terms of sound? I've read on here that is pretty annoying and dreadful. I don't wanna tune out afm, since I want to retain my power train warranty. So I believe axle backs is my best choice. Perhaps I might consider catback later on. Or should I just do full cat now? |

Spoke to my muffler guy today and he recommended magnaflow catback, since the warranty is top notch in terms of Customer service, and great sound on catback. Anyone have experience with magnaflow?

I have the Borla Atak Cat-Back. It just the right amount of growl it's not annoyingly loud at low speeds but I don't have headers yet. There is a slight drone at 65-75 in 6th gear. I love it though my favorite part is slowing down at a light and it starts popping. I was lucky it was on the car when bought it last month. The youtube videos give you a good idea.
