So now the question for me is if it's worth it to get the full catback or just get the axle backs and save some money since I have the LS3 with its more open exhaust. I do "plan" on getting a supercharger either the TVS 1900 or 2300 maybe next year if I have the money together.

What should I do on the exhaust?

Borla hands down. Much better sound IMO.

I have the same question......I have the manual coming soon, and I have decided on Borla S style...........But should I go cat back or axle back for the best sound????

Looking for opinions........THX

Borla on order.

Got the Corsa cat back system and will have it installed next Thursday. Car is at the dealer and will have the stripes put on Monday and we'll pick it up Tuesday!!

With manual I understand that the Catback may have less benefit compared to auto and may be less necessary. I'm getting the Borla S axle back and will save lots.

isn't the stock cat-back tubing already mandrel bent and the same size tubing as the aftermarket cat-backs? Why not just save your money and purchase an axle-back?

Also, how does an x-pipe help performance?

Please excuse my lack of knowledge. That's why I've reading these forums so much.

Aftermarket will be better where the bends are than the factory. You will have some weight savings over stock.. better sound, more free-flowing.

Stock exhausts are quieter because of baffling in mufflers.

The X-over helps to balance the pulses from left bank/right bank, cancel some noise, and help smooth out the exhaust sound. It is a good thing...

I had the Corsa cat back system installed yesterday, it looks and sounds great.

I'm installing mine either tomorrow or sunday. I probably won't be able to wait and do it tomorrow evening. Did you install it yourself?
